I posted a picture of myself holding a chrome bright 16 pound native fish, caught without bait on a Siwash hook...doesn't prove or even support your argument, mine either. In fact posting pictures of yourself holding fish in full spawning color could draw the ire of those finding fishing on redds less than ethical, especially bait.

I think the science is there for selective bait bans and maybe Todd or Smalma could back me with studies or some such thing.

Gooose I agree with you that personal ethics are necessary...unfortunately I feel strongly that further measures are necessary because there will always be people who will always fish with bait (see above).
