  1. Great article, this should be a must read for all anglers! The best point in the article was using the analogy that leaving a fish out of the water is akin to holding one's breath after running a marathon. One big complaint I have is the way most (yes I said most) TV fishing hosts don't handle fish correctly. They leave the fish out of the water way too long while they are yakking at the camera. I always say to myself "put the damn fish back in the water!" That's my thoughts for now.
  2. I wouldn't eat them since I recall reading somewhere that the contaminant levels in them were very high. Old turtles would have had a long time accumulating toxins.
  3. Great video on cooking the Asian Carp. It's no surprise they taste good since they are raised in the east for food. Well done filleting technique too. I watched another video a couple of years ago and it made the filleting process tedious! I believe they are marketing Asian carp as Silverfin fish?
  4. Why would anyone dump fish on shore to "feed" other animals? Fish stink when they rot on the shore. I would suggest you dump the fish in the water instead of sinking up the land. Keep it clean.

    Garbage

    This is a good discussion that hopefully will enlighten some people who may not know that littering is wrong. Hard to believe, but, there are probably people that don't realize that littering is bad. As conscienscious anglers we must speak up when we observe people littering. So for those that don't know, don't LITTER!
  6. According to Snopes, this is false and the email has been circulating since 2006. You need to remove the tick manually by tweezers.
  7. I use barbless 100% of the time. I "caught" my head with a barbed hook when I first started fishing years ago, and couldn't get the damn thing out myself (at the back of my head). Since then, barbless all the way.
  8. Thanks for fighting the good fight Ron. I'm curious as well, what did the "burning debris" turn out to be?
  9. I used to think that canoeists and campers didn't litter as much, but, after seeing garbage at portage access points and picnic stops I've come to the conclusion that there is a segment of the population that either don't care or aren't aware that littering is unacceptable. There are litterers in every segment of society. Some more than others I'm sure. Best thing we can do is to point out to litterers that it is not acceptable. Speaking up will make a difference.
  10. Best point you made was to minimize keeping a fish out of water. I'm always dismayed when I see a TV fishing host keep a fish out of the water and blab about the fish. I think all ethical fisherman should watch this video. Thank you for posting it.
  11. I had my Fin Bore replaced several years ago when I kept having a similar problem. I believe it was "out of alignment" and I couldn't drill holes very well. They replaced the head and I've had no problems since.
  12. I used to love the Sportsman's show....till Le Baron dropped out one year. Went to the Spring Fishing show a few times and wasn't too impressed. Lately I haven't been to either show for many years. Since Bass Pro Opened I think you can get competitive deals from either them or Le Barons. Other than seeing a few seminars I don't think either show is worth the admission. For pure bargins, Boxing day sales and regular sales will do the same.
  13. If anyone is interested in seeing them play, I've got tickets for the Dec 2nd game against Oilers available. Posting is in the classified section.
  14. I think fish feel pain. Just because they don't exhibit the symptons doesn't mean they aren't feeling pain. If you've ever had a toothache, arthritis, back pain, etc. there will be times when you are under pain, but, don't show it to the casual observer. Until they can start communicating with fish I find it unlikely that most animals (including fish) don't have some sense of pain.
