I believe that the vast majority of the licensed permit holders abide by these regulations and bag limits. So the beef is not with us who purchase our permits and follow the regulations. The people who you should be yelling at should be those that govern the resource and put forth the bag limits and regulations. You are right, coming onto an internet site and bitchin' is only going to put you square in the cross hairs of someone who has an opposite view to yours and will get you nothing but trouble no matter which camp you are in.

Good post and overall this is actually a productive conservation. My personal problem regarding the whole juvenile issue, is that every person on this site will sit there and say that this fishery has been mismanaged all the way down through the ranks. If that is the case and everyone cares so much about this fishery, then when does common sense kick in and when do people start accounting for their own actions? Sure you have a rec permit and you are entitled to one fish per day but is it really needed to have 100lbs or more of meat laying on the dock after every trip?

I feel pretty strongly that this entire, I'm just following the rules approach, is just plain ignorant. Everyone here seems to be putting forth a solid effort writing emails and making phone calls about the CITIES I just dont understand why that effort does'nt translate into some sort different attitude when on the water.

Hey Eric don't worry too much about all the bitter crap these guys are saying. It seems that they are obsessed with you not the other way around. They are the ones that seem miserable and when I've seen you you seem pretty happy! So just fish on and let them sit in the dark, giggle and manipulate their little friend!

KP161 sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to call my friend......seems to see things pretty clearly. If I had to guess, I'd say most real old salts and giant fishermen don't even know what the internet is. This thread makes me wish I didn't either.

My definition of Douchebag is one that comes here to shit on another who is out doing whatever it it is that makes THEM and others happy... I already said it before that can be standing in a stream catchin ten inch trout, sittin on some flat some place catchin flounder, maybe catchin 50-100 pound bluefins tickles anothers pickle. Some call sailfish or whites gods gift while others need swords or blue marlin to fill their adrenalin quota.
The difference between them and you is that they don't crap on each other. Its called respect for fishermen and respect for this site which is something lost on your unwelcome asshole submoronic sublitterate sad excuse for being a human.
So you plucked another 19 breeders out of the stocks of a fish in trouble. La ti flippin da! I'll give you the same congrats as I give to anyone else whos out doing what they love. No more no less... I will however let you know in no uncertain terms that your bashing of others who catch what "You" "Consider" sub par fish is not welcome here. I'll go one futher and ask really nice one time that you please knock it off...
