I think I feel worse for the fisherman than the fish here! Give the guy a break-play nice. Slamming a guy for catching a legal fish and getting super stoked about it is not very COOL!

Nothing wrong with stating an opinion or or stating your perceived reasoning behind keeping or not keeping, just leave the name calling out!

Quite a learning experience for the kid! I'm sure his over excitement maybe clouded his jugement or maybe he just did'nt know that he can catch larger fish! Who knows?.We all have made one or two bad jugement calls at some point in our fishing experiences....come back kid:reeling:

Chalk it up as #1st one learned.. (& on a side note, if u really did drag that thing by its tail for over 30 minutes, chances are it wouldnt have made it, so chalk that up too as it didnt go to waste..:cheers1:) |

If any of you haters out there have ever had the opportunity to eat day old pups, you wouldnt be hatin' tender as butter!!! :biggrinjester:
Everybody relax.. The kid lands his first thresher gets stoked, eats it... Big deal. Like he said he cr's most others. Better that poor little guy than a poor big guy that is breeding stock filled with mercury any way. Every time I see a trophy shark strung up I have two thoughts... What a magnificent creature and poor thing.... I just feel bad to see this but better the little o es I guess... No right answer here if you ask me. At least it is being harvested and appreciated. Good job, that is what fishing is about for me anyways. |
congrats on the T, good food anyway you slice it, that's one more than I have this year :reel:

Only post your report if you satisfy the following conditions:
The fish was legal it was not too small... it was not too big... it was not a calico it was not a fish considered a "trash" fish by any members of the board you better not have kept more than one fish you must eat ALL of your catch fresh the same day God forbid you have some fish in the freezer already You called and checked with fellow community members that they approve of your slot limit on the species. You spent 5 hours trying to revive the fish unsuccessfully. Oh, you always have to fish with 50 pound gear just to avoid having a fight over 10 seconds. The fish can not be caught in "suspect" places like Cabrillo Your post can not be made in the same decade as the catch. All identifying marks and landmarks must be obscured in order to preserve the secret status of the location. My head hurts!::confused: |
You forgot something, I don't know what it is but I'm sure you forgot something.
BTW........sorry, I haven't called you back. |
Yep, George I think Matt about covered it!!
Matt, very well said. cant think of anything to add at all. Carbon, get over the haters and enjoy your fishing. There are some other very nice folks who share this board
Its all about the stoke:reel: |

something about grossly overstating the facts of that "sizzling" battle...
exaggerating the weight of your fish will get the masses stirred up Upon looking at that "tail" in the photo...I immediately reached down to see if my belt was gone...:eek: |
This post has seemingly been homogenized by the Obama Administration. I feel good again.:luxhello:

- Just because something is legal don't mean its morally right to do it.
I would bet that if asked the large majority of fisherman on BWE would not kill a baby thresher shark. - Even though it may be legal to do so. Given the scrutiny that all Kalifornia Fisherman are under by exploitive eco-terrorists. ie. mlpa proponents we need to be cautious how we portray ourselves publicly. -I don't think its fair - but its the way it is - like it or not. Thresher Sharks are a Hotbed issue given how little known about their biology and behavioral ecology. When you kill and hold up a baby thresher by the tail for the camera it doesn't go over well with a lot of people. -If you held up a 5 lb. rat yellowtail you would catch flack as well. Even though it is legal to do so.... |
next subject....:reel:

This thread kinda reminds me of the "You killed those poor little ducks??" that I get all the time. If your going to eat it and it was legal then go for it. Only take what you can consume and youll still be on my good side. |

Everyone knows your estimation and difficulty were a little out of whack. Like someone said, "Most of the guys would have that caught in 5 minutes", tail hooked or not. Hell, even my gal would have. You were no doubt being cautious after losing so many others. Can't blame you for that. Being your PB on a yak, you obviously way over-estimated its weight. I'd guess 25lb, maybe 30 max. But, what the hell it was legal. I've got much bigger gripes with people who poach 100 lobster in one night in the off-season, then get off with what I think is little repercussion, I'd give them at least 6 months in jail, that'd stop that.<O:p</O:p Jim Sammons was right, though, it's bad publicity in our fight against the MLPA, because the ignorant nut-job environmentalists, don't know or care that the much larger fish are always the breeders. They'll only call it baby killing, regardless. And Wade was right, that fish was probably going to die being dragged tail first for 30 minutes. Better to keep it, and eat it, which you obviously are doing, than leave it for the bottom feeders. IMHO. I just wouldn't have posted the photo, and let everyone call you a liar, without a photo. Then, no one would have known it wasn't a 70lber. :luxhello: But, I loved your enthusiasm. Get a little thicker skin, buy a scale (one that goes to 50lbs), and keep coming back. Your post was nice.<O:p</O:p Most of the actual comments were on your side, many of the negatives ones were strictly in sarcasm. Sometimes you gotta read between the lines.<O:p</O:p On a side note, there were some funny comments made by Deamon. All in good fun, as far as I’m concerned.<O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p Good luck and hook up,<O:p</O:p Aaron<O:p</O:p |
If they did not want you to keep them they would up the sixe limit. Keeper is keeper.

For the supporters of the person of interest, we for the most part are not griping about the small shark (some do) , it's about the bullshit 70lb brag "with tail for sure" and that he tried to make a quick buck off of this forums members with those clearance rods he tried to sell to people. Those two strikes are the reason members are talking shit.:sifone:
