ok- ok. its funny how we as people must stereo type one another. Lable him as a ignorant person for keeping a Native fish. So let it be it was the Indian who incouraged me to do so! I so mush hate to let you know more about me. I've released more native steelhead in my life than you could even fathom. I've contributed more time in the save the King program on the Willipa and elk river and the North River. I'm from Grays Harbor originally. And I drive extensive miles of my own time to do my share. You have no idea who your up against and what you think your talking about. I've released more fish than days you've been alive. I pay my dues and respects to the balance of nature. So much I keep 1 great fish in my life. And you go and label me as an abuser of the system? I so much even share my experiance to this lousy system you call "WE the people on this internet release all native fish" You make me sick to my stomach. I'm probably the most loyal S.O.B. you would ever want to meet. I pick up more trash from the woods' used fish line that may compile up in places that you fish. I would be simply ashamed to be living in your shoes and lable yourself as a honest fisherman. So Mr Port Orchard man would you like to meet somewhere in Kitsap County and talk about your problems over a cup of coffee. No I'm not angry or upset I'm just a little derailed over all of the Negative feedback that I did not deserve. So as of this day of Feburary rolles on to an end take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself one question! Did I respond correctly to that mans catch. No you did not. Lets keep your opinions to your self and not make a habit of keeping natives. So goodbye fisherman. Enjoy the outdoors, snuff out your campfires, take your trash home with you so others may enjoy. We need more people like ME!!!
