[Broad Bill]

Nice net shots! Great day on the water, fall fishing at its best.

Want to say something that's not been said here before. I look at these reports and see the smiles on people's faces even though the regulations allow very few fish to be retained. Some recreational anglers fish and spend the significant money involved for a meal, most in my opinion do it for the experience and in the case of stripers for the chance to catch a fish of a lifetime. I don't see anyone complaining in these reports, just a bunch of smiling faces enjoying what recreational fishing is in many ways all about.

Just keep that in mind when people are asked for their help fighting the federal government, in some cases state governments, the corrupt bureaucratic agencies managing fisheries and corrupt politicians. Recreational fishing is a choice and a lifestyle too important to let corporate and political greed and corruption destroy. Please remember that when your help and support is asked for, I can't and don't want to imagine what my life would've been like without the countless outings I've enjoyed with my parents, brothers, sons and so many friends.
