Hey guys and I'm sure gals too, need a hand here! I'm a Rockport local and fish the Sauk and Skagit all the time, Where clubbing Nates, unfortunately, is still allowed. As anyone who has ever fished up here knows most of the old-timers here are "Tar-heels". My neigbor, a 62 year old Tar-heel born and raised here in Rockport can't seem to get through his thick skull the importance of catch and release of natives. We go rounds all the time, especially when I released a big nate yesterday. (37 inches long with a 20 inch girth) What I need is some ammo, somthing I can print out and show him, studies,facts, anything to show the importance of catch and release of nates. We've already gone the round on the logging issue, still going on, but I'm winning so far. Yes, he's a logger too and so was his dad. HELP!!
