Buddy, I find your comments sickening and your lack of intelligence to make coherent sentences taking reasonable positions even more sickening. You wonder why your post last week was pulled regarding the amounts of fish that are caught. Yes, I saw it! Laughable... Please feel free to rant on a freshwater site and spare us your nonsense. Thanks

There's always one....

Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these guys. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!

Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

This is my personal opinion on the matter and I have posted it on this site before. Poachers are nothing more then thieves. If they are keeping short fish or fish in excess of the limit they are stealing from a public resource. Who is to say that the fish they take might not have grown to keeper or trophy size and that someday I or another honest fisherman might have caught them. I wish there was more enforcement and that the fines were higher.
Successful fisheries management is dependent on compliance of the law and unfortunately there are more and more people who no longer comply with the law. Many fishermen think keeping a short fish is no worse than driving 60 mph in a 55 mph zone. Illegal fishing is effecting the overall health of our stocks and then we all have to pay the price through more stringent regulations.
Still many of our regulations are unfair. We sacrificed for many years to rebuild our stocks and were promised that once rebuilt the regulations would be relaxed. Instead they have often been tightened. Then you have what recently happened at the ASMFC where they shoved regionlization down our throats. They went through the trouble of having public hearings and accepting comments on the matter. The vast majority of people and organizations along the entire east coast opposed regional management. The ASMFC adopted it anyway so what was the purpose of having public hearings? I can understand other fishermens anger and why the say XXXX them, they did not listen to us so now we are keeping what we want. Still this is wrong. I would like to see these people become more invlolved by joining an organization that is fighting for the rights of recreational fishermen and/or letting their legisators know how unfairly they are being treated.

If you so chose to follow their rules so be it. As for me I have served this country for a reason. To preserve our freedoms and secure our existence. So there you have it call me what you will but I suggest you look at these regs for what there are. An over reach by the government to insure they gain call of every aspect of your existence. That is not freedom. My country my water my fish and I earned the right live my life as I see fit not as a bunch of stuffed shirts believe I should. F them

Well Said, Joey, I couldnt agree more!!!!!
