IamRubber, first off, you have the wrong guy. Regarding the rest of your rant, why would your friend be pissed if he is such a do-gooder? How is giving facts being rude? I don't give a rats *ss about how many fish your friend catches. Did he kill a wild hen for eggs? It sounds like he did, so he is an *ss in my opinion. I think your "1st steelhead theory" if flawed beyond belief! Yeah, tonight we will eat wild steelhead on the BBQ, take a frigin picture, it will last longer. If you are fishing for food, go to McDonalds, it is hell of a lot cheaper. Or is the theory "my friends think I am stupid for fishing in bad weather, but if I bring home a steelhead. They won't think I am crazy." The whole theory is *ucked! Or is it the wife theory "if I bring home fish she will let me spend more money on gear" aargh!

This post wasn't intended to be a wild steelhead debate, but what the hell.
