Keith,

My original intent before I let it get out of hand wasn't to pick on anyone for killing hatchery fish, it was for keeping more than a limit (or so that photo depicted) Maybe I jumped to conclusions, maybe I didn't. Everyone who responded thought I did and they sure let me know, so I apologized and gave them the benefit of the doubt. I know the story behind your photo from parker's post on the other board. If you guys want to single-handedly wipe out the hatchery steelhead runs on the NF Lewis or Cowlitz, that's up to you, and that's where you and I have a different outlook on what we get out of fishing, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Wouldn't you agree that the members of these boards kind of unofficially represent the positive, law-abiding side of the sportfishing community? After all, what do you think would happen if a bunch of snaggers signed up and started patting each other on the back and talking up snagging? The rest of us probably wouldn't like it too much and would speak up. The ONLY issue I had was the fact that the photo showed more than a limit with no explanation, and when I heard the "Hey they're only hatchery fish, who gives a [Bleeeeep!], leave my buddies alone" attitude, well, that's why I opened my big mouth.
