Tk I don't know where you get off? I'm a MEAT fisherman I don't have 3 frezers and I keep only what I can eat in a couple of weeks. If they stay longer I bring them out and smoke them. It's guys like you that give this sport a bad name.Also I've been fishing for steelhead for close to 45 years and probably released more fish on Saturday afternoons between 2 and 4 than you have caught in your life.

Besides I see your from snohomish. I'll bet you live in a house and drive two cars, use toilet paper, Push tons of paper waste waste waste and probably have more to do with the decline of the runs of steelhead than that poacher. Look at yorself in the mirror. I don't in any way condone what that poacher did however put as much blame on you as him. You don't know what he's been through. He's probably seen his runs decline and the nets (native and commercial) take fish and he can't and guys like you move into his beautiful valley and destroy it.

Also being high and mighty about releasing hatchry fish is stupid. The game department put those fish into the system so you can catch them and TAKE THEM HOME TO EAT thats what there there for. Ask the WWFD they will tell you they want the sport guys to keep all the hatchery fish.

Ssorry to vent guys but when the kettlw calls the pot black it pisses me off.

Besides this kind of talk and pointing fingers is what made the other site about fishing brand-X. So don't ruin this one by your uppity attitute
