first fishing trip of the year

[stoney]

First FISHING trip of the year.
I take my brother in law.
My boat, my spot, my pole, his fish 48" 45 lbs.
We stay out too late so I get no brownie points with wife.
Go figure

that is a shame you kept that fish, in a few years when the stocks colapse and people wonder where all the fish went, they should look back on all of the big breeders that were kept.

amazing that some people celebrate nature by killing it...kinda ironic huh

I know absolutely nothing about what Stripe Bass regulations are up north, but if it was a legal fish in the state that governs this species, God bless Stoney for the catch!!!!
We have enough dad gum laws already. Hook and line fishermen
could never wipe out a species alone! Maybe your just jealous?

Hey Komodi in case you did not notice this is the fishing section of the board. Maybe you made a mistake and thought you were on the photography section of Audubon. Here is a web site more suited for you http://basketweaving.com/ This site has a group of guys that like to go fishing and sometimes eat their catch. I guess you never ate nothing that was at one point living and breathing. If so more power to you. Over here in California we have lots of you guys. They get pissed even when we release a fish because we are holding it for a quick picture. Poor fish is getting stressed they say. How many 40 pounders have you caught? Thats what I thought. Stony broke no laws and did nothing unethical so shame on you for raining on his parade. Please keep your dim witted, uneducated, juvenile views to your self.....JERK.

Strick - he might want to try www.PETA.org instead of the basket-weaving site...

Great catch Stony... Congrats..

Great way to start the season!

There is nothing wrong with catch & filet as long as the fish goes on your plate. I eat fresh striper twice a week in season and I highly doubt it puts a major impact on the stocks if recreational fisherman take a few home. Isn't this why we have regulations...?

These fly guys can be pretty self- righteous.

Nice bass Stoney!
