Now some of our channel Islands areas are closed to fishing because of over fishing. I'm not a tree hugger by any means, I don't belong to any groups, I surf, but don't join Surfrider, because of their anti fishing stance. The older I get, the more I see the need to conserve some of our presious resources. I fished Albacore commerically in the early 70's, and we would catch 100 fish an hour on jigs, now look at the Albacore population. I live in Ojai by choice, and plan to stay there, I moved from San Diego 25 years ago, when I saw how crowded it was getting. When I fish now I only keep what I will eat that night and release everything else so hopefully there will be fish when I fish tomorrow. I'm not putting any one down just making suggestions.

With that said, your original post is condescending. You are projecting your personal limit on another angler. That's the probelm. You can bust on someone's over priced shimano gear, their peddle craft, their slow ass ugly cobra or funky waders - but when an angler stays within the limits of the CA DFG. Back off and let give them their 5 minutes of fame. If you want to discuss politics, do it on your own post or send them a PM.
BTW: released some nice calis 4#'s Saturday while fishing WSB. SHould kept the mofo's for tacos today.
