Obsessed - Ok, maybe my wording was little off.
Thoughtless - you're correct. Bad word to use. They thought long and hard to kill those sharks. Although you claim to be "clueless" about the sharks at Seacrest, those two fisherman certainly were not. They *knew* the sharks were there.
Clueless - again, you're correct. These guys were on the ball. Pulling out 4 sharks over 7' in length is certainly not "clueless". That's down right damn good fishin', if you ask me.
Stupid - again, you are correct. These fisherman obviously knew what they were doing and where to do it. If anything, I applaud these guys. They knew how to catch sharks. Truly not stupid in that sense.

BK - I only call them as I see it. Fortunately for the sharks, a good majority of citizens pointed out the "stupidity" to the WDFW and fixed the problem. You are dead wrong BK - I have every right as a tax paying citizen in our WA State to point out and squash "stupidity"

From your comments, it appears that maybe "us divers" better slap some more laws at the pier. How about "NO FISHING." period? Doesn't bother me as I don't fish on the pier. We already know our voice is stronger than yours. I'm also a fisherman, and believe you have the right to fish as well. I can live with fisherman on the pier - you might want to try to live with divers at Seacrest.

Raincity - It doesn't matter where anyone is from. That's no excuse. Those guys new exactly what they were doing and where to do it.

Finally, I don't have a problem with C&R shark fishing. It was the "harvesting" part that I had a problem with.

That's enough out of me. Next topic!
