gsiegel,

out of everyone that has responded, you me you make the most sense!!!

respecting the fish??? if you want to respect the fish you should all put your poles away, as i doubt those that are hooked in the mouth think they received more respect than those hooked in the ass.

let me say i do not agree with a spark plug, and a treble hook, but THIS FOUL HOOK CRAP can be taken to far i believe. these fish are dying, and i as a sportsman that helped pay for that resource, and would like to see it utilized, for more than feeding the next GENERATION OF FISH. I have watched the tribes strip eggs from fish, and thow the rest, and you guys worry about FOUL HOOK, GIVE ME A BREAK!!! I know this will be unpopular with the purists, but thats how i feel. someone said above "if they want fish like that go to the store." so now you are encouraging people to buy the more respected netted fish, or tribal fish? oh ya, these fish were more respectfully caught, right??? please, if you want to talk legal, or not legal, so be it, but cut the crap about respecting the fish!
