i do not think you can buy a fresh water license without getting a catch record card. probably left at card at home

People spreading rumors on the internet isn't good for business either... I dont think a first hand account of what happened is a rumor, I agree in some cases that spreading such info isnt advised but when your a guide you live and fish under a different set of standards then other fishermen, being that you are very visible, ie name plastered on the side of your boat you should be extra sure that what you are doing is both legal and ethical.

The "I think" part of his statement leads me to believe it's a rumor, he doesn't even know for sure what happend. He's vague and doesn't have any real details other than what he gathered while "eves dropping." I don't see any good reason for his post besides to slam Eli Rico. If the clients had made the post (somebody that was actually involved, and has a reason to post) it would be different. I agree

Well, excuse me for telling it like it is....I was there, I saw it, heard it and that's the way it is folks. The clients got the tickets and judging by their reactions, they were not happy about it. There are always two sides to the story and perhaps good old Eli knows the real story but bottom line is, if you're a professional guide you darn well know you aren't supposed to record your fish on the back of your fishing license.

I'm thiking it probably should have been Eli Rico who got the ticket but then I suppose legally, he didn't do anything he could have been cited for. I would think as long as Rico has been around he told his clients what they needed to bring before the trip (including licenses/catch record card) after that, its up to the client. If he let them fish knowing they didn't have the card(s) then he probably deserves a ticket as well. The client definitely deserves the ticket. I don't know what the law is here but in Ak. if a guide knowingly lets a client violate a law, he can get a pretty big ticket and possible jail time. A guide I work with got nailed a few years ago for aiding a client in a game fishing violation, he got a $1000 fine and 1 year in jail, the judge suspended $500 and the year in jail, he was on probation for 2 years.

+1 Homer- you've been here longer than Abu-Loomis. Most of his 3314 posts are one liners, one word, or no words at all. I myself don't have room to speak about contributing either. But I know I'm not on here bantering back and forth about who knows more than the next guy. Either contribute to the site or STFU! And most of his post are SH!T! I've never seen a 19 or 20 somthing know so much? I guess I should start listening to him so I could learn something. Abu- If you just worried about yourself like mommy and daddy used to teach kids(not you) this site would be much better off. If it's not that big of a deal to you that STFU and let Eli fend for himself! NUF SAID! Later...

Go sit out on I-5 with your laptop and start listing all of the speeding tickets with license plate numbers and photos of the vehicles cited. And I mean...sit ON I-5.

I think his post was completly relevant, being this is a fishing sight where people come for all kinds of fishing news and knowledge. Using the anology of reporting speeding tickets is completely irrelevant.

Yo abu loomis, dude was just saying what he saw. Most likely the clients forgot their punch card and the risks of not tagging a salmon but the guide proceeded to fish the clients anyhow. Rico is lucky he got to keep his rods considering they were used to catch the fish. Guides should know better abu loomis, my question for you is why go and toss some dude under the bus for what he saw with his own two eyes? Didn't you state on a previous post you had worked for kevin lund, a guide who had been convicted of salmon poaching and screwing around with catch records? Guides aint no hero just cause they catch a bunch of fish, they should be real careful, considering its their livelihood.

Abu-Loomis is absolutely right. The client was wrong and deserved the ticket, may or may not have been Eli's fault. I don't know Eli Rico, never met the man. Some think he walks on water, some think he needs to be watched all the time. Doesn't really make a hill of beans of difference to me one way or the other but if he's a professional guide, he should be held to a little higher standard and pay attention to the rules. All it was was an observation and I posted about it.....plain and simple.
