These threads never cease to amaze me. Look at it from a newbie's perspective. A dude posts a thread to the board and according to the newbie, this poster dude seems to really know what he's talking about. So, the thread is but a few hours old and what do we have so far? We have experts positivly identifying this 12 inch fish as a King, an Atlantic, a coho a pink or a pinook. Now, if all of the salmonoid brethren on this board can't ID a fish after years of training and studying to become experts, how the hell would a rooky CO even be able to lay a charge?? Now if it was a carp it'd be easy! Carps is the one dat has his mouth on the wrong side of his face.
Add to that a little town bashing (armpit), a few ethics comments (lining, marshmallows, baseball bats) and you have the makings of a soon to be locked or deleted thread.
But thanks for posting. If there is no flaming, it'll stay up and eventually we'll find out what this fish really is....maybe.
And congrats on catching this ummmm...fish.
