gsiegel, sorry, if you felt my use of you meant you. I was using you in a generic sense.

Snagging is not capital murder, but its not fishing either.

Salmon do bite, however if you got 20 guys ripping gear through a hole it just ruins it for everybody. If all these non-fisherman had to catch fish for real most would get discouraged and give up.


More fish and a better overall experience for the rest fo us.

PS: I never said anything about disrespectng the fish. I'm sure the fish doesn't care how it gets drug in. But I'm sure its happier when it gets to swim away .
