Twice I have had my steelhead related posts deleted off this board. If this is an open forum, why is the truth so difficult to swallow?

I read your earlier post but had to run before I had a chance to respond. I can only speak for my own experience fishing with Bob and it was very positive. I spent two days with him about 2 1/2 weeks ago and all of the fish we caught were treated with the utmost respect and care for their survival. They were only removed from the water to pop out the hook and quick photo and revived, released when they were ready.

I've been steelhead fishing alot of years and have released hundreds of steelhead so I do have a clue as to proper technique and from what I observed, Bob is a man that practices what he preaches. I can't speak for your experience since I was not there but those are my observations.

Salmonbelly,would you believe Bob would have a picture taken of 4lb steelhead held through the gills? As what fishin'story had said in the earlier post.

I was fishing the same stretch of river yesterday and witnessed what "Fishin Story" claims. Like it or not, it's sad but it's true.

Some people need to make up lies to justify their own actions!

When there's a guy who stands up for C&R and practices what he preaches people who disagree are gonna try and make him look bad. Thats just the way it is.

When we fianlly do get to a total C&R, some guides are gonna go out of buisness and some arn't.

The post was made early this morning.Fishin'Story stated that Bob killed two fish yesterday on the lower Hoh by playing them for to long and then holding them by the gills for pictures and tossing them back.

I deleted the post (for obvious reasons) and then sent Fishin'Story an e-mail as to who deleted the post and why.

We have all seen a multitude of Bob's pictures of fish being held by the gills.NOT. You all be the judge.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Yeah,

I was there, too, and witnessed the whole thing. First, Bob was bad, and then Bigfoot showed up and rescued the fish from Bob and the aliens. Yep, seen the whole thing.

'Course I left my Polaroid at home, so you'll just have to take my word for it..........

Fish on.........

I too read the orginal post before it was deleted. I had a question. If he was teaching his grandson how to hook-n-release why did his grandson even have a net?(the grandson netted the dead fish) I thought you didn't net fish when you were going to release them? Just wondering.

Just for the record...
My post did not reveal that I witnessed Bob on the Lower Hoh specifically. But since that happens to be where we were, your revelation of this fact gives my original post credibility.
I have no reason to make this up. Bob has a reputation as a successful guide. We all know who he is and his claim that he practices C&R, which is why what I witnessed first hand was a shock.
God save the steelhead...

Before we send you off into the sunset, I'll clear the air a little.

I never read (nor deleted) your original post, but I have gotten the gist of what it said.

I caught two fish yesterday myself. Both fish were teenagers.

As I remember, it was very early (roughly 7 or so) and no one was around when I caught my first ... if you were the person with the young boy down from us, you arrived around 9 AM. This fish was never photographed, it swam away as I was unhooking it.

Four or five anglers (one youngster) were on the opposite bank about 200 yds. from us when I caught the second (since the one fish landed by this group went back into the woods, it is safe to assume you are pro-wild kill and may be unhappy with efforts for C&R regs?).

Neither fish was held by the gills ... hmm, does the fish (certainly not 4 pounds like your post apparently said) on the reports page look like it's being held by the gills?

Nice try Basically you're full of BS and if you wish to tell lies, you can do it somewhere else.

CYA

It's obvious there's too much free time and not enough fishing time. I'm not in defense for Bob, but I realize the freedom of speech (within reason). Why is it there are people trying to take stabs at him (Bob)? Saw this kinda stuff at other forums and think this is chicken #*&!!. Can't we just all get along?
