Chum... they get so much [censored], but the existence and life cycle is just as impressive as any other salmon. As sportfish, they fight harder than most other salmonids. Too bad some people have so much disdain for these guys...must be something they picked up along the way in forming their self identity. I remember when I used to judge people based on the popular sentiment, but i outgrew that after High School.

I never went out with fat chicks or drove a pinto so maybe its the same thing. Im wouldnt be sorry to see obesity and cheap cars wiped off the face of the planet..but chum? They arent that bad are they?
