Hey Danny boy, you're right - I specialize in leaving fish in all the rivers. Nothing wrong with C&Ring the fish (after I fill the neighborhood freezers with them , jk). In fact, I C&R'd one right at the net yesterday, to save it from having it's slime scrapped off.

(ok, I crackered that one off by not tying on a new jig, after bending the hook on a snag and just bending it back - but I hate wasting a nice looking jig)

As for the small rivers, I love em! Still my favorite fishing. That's why I got Nick's little Don Hill Mini-drifter 2 man drift boat (like Zog used). But unlike you Oly boys, I can fish any type of water, know where they will be, and come in with fish. :p
