Sad but true that the same morons who trash fish when they take them out of the water will screw it up even if they leave them in the water. I have no problem with anyone who wants to take a quick picture of a fish if he knows how to treat it. I have handled hundreds of them over the years and can say that I took good care of each one. I have also seen lots of abuse from all manner of bubba's, but never - ever in my boat. I love them way to much to hurt them

You would be doing a lot more for the future of the fish if you would just simply release all wild stocks- in all systems. How can you lobbie for no taking them out of the water at all when its leagle to bonk them if you want?? I know you can't bonk them on every river but you get what I am saying.

I have to admit that the most pissed off I have ever been on the river is when I see some moron with a bass master mentality "chuck" a steelhead.
