Over at Steelheader.net, Aunty M put up a poll about how many people do not mark fish on their punchcard when they catch. It approached 50%. Now, this is a small sample, but if it is representative of the fishing population at large - we have a huge problem of underreporting sports catch.

Jacob, you still have this bone in your teeth that sports fishermen do not impact the resource. I remember a month or so ago I posted numerous facts that proved otherwise. Reluctantly, you seemed to make a halfhearted attempt at seeing the facts. Look in the mirror man - we all are part of the problem with the resource. You clearly do not agree with blanket C & R - that's fair. But, what is your solution? If it is pointing fingers at Tribal harvest , then I'm sorry, you have little credibility with me.

I'm going fishing - I hope that I catch a wild steelhead or two that I can respectfully and lovingly put back in the river.
