Photoshop, of course! Did you like my work?

No photo is sacred!

That just goes to show that you should never trust ANYTHING on the internet. Lies, I tell you! All lies! (except my photos, of course).

Parker,
That's pretty good there... You caught me... I love the attention, as well as Sparkey does.....

Sure makes you sick to see the sea lions just screwing our runs up.. I'd sure like to see some viable evidence or pie charts that show that spring salmon are on the decline because of sportfisherman catch and release... But they're not on the decline because of sea lions???????

Ya I liked the work, way to much war talk lately, needed some photo fun.

Cool now I can take all my family photos, cut the pictures of YOUR fish out, and show me holding them

Sorry lead thrower, but that's EXACTLY what I do now! I've never caught my own fish so I just copy my face on to other people's photos.

I was just saying they are ESA listed fish...it seems that the very best thing you could do for a population on the brink, is to just keep in the water!

Yes, Sparkey overall it would be best to keep them in the water along with killing all their predators from smolts until they're adults.. Then keep all the netters and sportsfisherman away from them.... I don't see it happening though...

Then why dont you do your part and leave them in the water???

Because you can not control the other obstacles that these fish face you are just going to say "[Bleeeeep!] it!...I will do what I want!"?

To me, that is selfish and that is copout!...but oh well. Why would we want to save a fish we can not kill and parade around???

Sparkey, Kudos for sticking to your guns, IMO, it proves that some are more concerned about self promotion rather than taking time to educate themselves on proper c&r techniques that would help minimize our impacts and help keep the hooking mortality percentages down. Maybe a better technique would be to use photo shop to cut out the floor of the boat where the fish is laying where it has even less chance of survival if it's intended for release. :p
