For the record.... It's not just about the number of fish I catch. I love to fish and I love to catch fish. Just because I don't subscribe to Duckinthefog's "Zen" approach to fishing doesn't mean that I am less of a person. Also, there is nothing at all wrong with wanting to keep fish for the freezer. None of my fish goes to waste. I smoke, can, or pickle a pretty good portion of the fish I catch, the rest gets cooked and eaten. Those punchcards are there for a reason boys. And yes, fishing means much more to me then simply obtaining meat. However, there is a certain sense of satisfaction I feel when I return home from a day of fishing with a couple of chrome brite fish to show for my efforts. Bottom line: I don't have a problem with keeping a lined fish or ten. If lining fish is something that you have a problem with, then don't do it. If you are above fishing around a bunch of Liners, then stay away from those kinds of fisheries. And, if you do choose to turn me in for Lining (prove it) then that's your choice to make. If that makes you sleep easier at night, knowing that you've rid the World of yet another hardened criminal, then turn me in. I just hope you can get your hands on that Cell phone before I get my hands on you.
