If you know it is a sanctuary why would you fish near it? give yourself alot of distance from it and you will be ok and wont have to worry about being charged by a CO... I know the only dumb question is the one that is not asked... but this seems like common sense to me. Dont fish near a Sanctuary. Gerritt.

well their have been studies into this and Fish do not feel pain like you and I do, there or no to very few pain receptors in a fishes mouth. however when I say mouth I am talking about fish like Pike, Muskie, bass, pickeral.. where this is very little flesh within the mouth... They anti will have you believe they do feel pain, but have very little data to back it up... they try to use twisted reason..... Now having said that, the above fish I mentioned I did for a reason, because they have very little muscle to none in the locations they are likely to get stuck with a hook. I do believe the case maybe different with soft mouthed fish however ( Carp, Suckers, white fish etc...) they tend to have alot more flesh in the mouth area... and I dont think biologists tested every fish possible to see weather fish feel pain in an area where they are likely to be hooked. That being said it does not mean a fish cannot feel pain... however it would probably be completely different then what we as humans would experience. I say that because they do have a central nervous system... take a torch to a fish and I think it would experience pain and its body movements would prove it... Hope this helps! Gerritt.

The Jarden Corp. today announced that it has acquired Pure Fishing and its brands that include Abu Garcia, Berkley, Mitchell, Stren, Trilene, and Gulp!. Jarden Corp. also owns the Coleman Co., which yesterday signed a sponsorship agreement with FLW Outdoors. That agreement fueled speculation that it or its parent company (Jarden) might be looking to expand in the fishing market (see "Coleman and fishing" below). Pure Fishing is also an FLW Outdoors sponsor. The news isn't a total surprise, since Pure Fishing underwent a recapitalization in 2003, the purpose of which many believed was to grow and then sell the company. What effect the sale will have on current Pure Fishing sponsorships of leagues and pros isn't known at this time. Along with Coleman and now Pure Fishing, Jarden owns many other consumer brands including Ball, Hoyle, FoodSaver, Mr. Coffee, Oster, and others. According to a press release, Pure Fishing had 2006 revenue in excess of $250 million. Detailed terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but the purchase price consisted of $300 million in cash, a $100 million 5-year note with a 2% coupon, and warrants exercisable into Jarden common stock with a strike price of $45.32. In addition to the upfront purchase price, a contingent purchase price payment based on the future financial performance of the acquired business may be paid. The press release also said: "The Pure Fishing acquisition is consistent with the company's stated strategy of purchasing leading, niche consumer-oriented brands with attractive cash flows and strong management. Pure Fishing will be joining The Coleman Company, Inc. as part of the company's Outdoor Solutions segment and is an accretive acquisition before synergies." Jarden chairman and CEO Martin E. Franklin said: "Pure Fishing is an excellent fit for Jarden and our Outdoor Solutions segment. We believe there are significant opportunities for future growth in the recreational fishing category, as well as cross-selling, channel expansion and geographical expansion opportunities with both our Coleman and Campingaz brands. As an established leader and an innovator in the specialty, sporting goods and mass channels for a number of decades, we believe Pure Fishing is well positioned to continue its growth and strong financial performance under Jarden and we welcome the entire Pure Fishing team to our company." Franklin added: "We strategically raised capital in the 4th quarter of 2006 and opportunistically did so again earlier this year. With this transaction we're beginning to put the capital raised to good use as we continue to look for opportunities to increase shareholder value. We look forward to discussing our 1st quarter results with investors later this month and discussing the transaction in more detail at that time." Gary A. Kiedaisch, Jarden Outdoor Solutions president, commented: "The strength of Pure Fishing's brands in combination with Coleman's vast product line provides us with an exceptional platform for the future growth of our Outdoor Solutions business. Leveraging the strengths of the Jarden, Coleman and Pure Fishing domestic and international operations will help us drive top-line growth, expand new product and brand offerings, while creating synergies and a greater level of innovation, responsiveness and service to retailers and consumers." Pure Fishing chairman Tom Bedell, whose father founded the company, said: "We are proud of the business that we've built and believe that Jarden is the right company to take the business to the next level. Jarden's expertise in growing leading brands and access to capital will build upon the expertise and innovation we have at Pure Fishing. We also are extremely proud to partner with Coleman under the banner of Jarden Outdoor Solutions." Gerritt.

I am also Dutch, and have heard countless stories from my Oma & Opa about wars and why they chose Canada to immigrate too, it was because of the way Canadians held themselves my Opa would say... I never quite understood what that meant till many years later when I asked him to elaborate "define held themselves Opa" He must of went on for hours about the bravery and compassion the Canadian Troops showed the people of Holland, The people in Holland LOVE Canadians still to this day because of the way Canadians "held themselves" during their time of crisis. There is a reason why we as Canadians are Loved world wide.... it be because of the acts of the people that chose to suit up and fight for what they felt was a just cause. To this day we are seen as Peace Keepers and are respected for it. I have more then a few in my family that served in the various forces. For one reason To give back to the Country that provided to them. Gerritt.
