why would your friend be pissed if he is such a do-gooder?
I would have been to if someone had assumed I kept a fish purely for eggs, and then used the only statements they wanted to hear and posted that on a public bulletin board. Do you really believe that fish was fed to the dogs and only the eggs were kept?

How is giving facts being rude?
FACTS? Once you heard "Needed some eggs" I bet you turned around and walked away. You had your story. You would probably make a great reporter.

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.
Yup we knew your opinion when you started this post.

blah blah blah about theorys
They were not theorys, It was one situation where I would be happy for somone that wanted to keep a Wild fish. What you think is a gear theory was a little humor. How many of you after that first steelhead became so fanatical about it that you would do whatever you thought it took to help you catch more fish? My first fish took me a year and it was a late summer run hatchery fish I caught on the Snohomish plunking for chums. When that rod went down and that fish took off it was the first time I have ever heard my fishing line sing. I have never been the same since that day.
