Size really does matter

Sorry Connie. Like I said it was a good thread. Unfortunately, cooler heads don't prevail in these situations. It's IS interesting though to see that the folks who are the most self righteous are the ones (usually) aiding and abetting.

Then maybe its time that we had a non fishing discussion section for us fisherman that like to talk about other things than what we or you caught today. Roy what are you trying to do. Win an award for cutting the most threads.

I'm just glad I learned about the forked tail thing!Now that I keep pickeral, I wouldn't want to get a ticket for being a 1/4 of an inch over.

 

oh and comparing drinking and driving that kills, to a fish that is a 1/4 of an inch over is a tad over the top.

Lets say cops were giving tickets to people that sped 4 km an hour over or under. That would be brutal....

 

The guys that caught fish over their limit got what they deserved though. Thats a no no!

Donny is only doing his job, however, I would question his sneekyness is wearing other non uniform clothes over his assigned work clothes.

Most of us can overlook the occasional poop disturber on this board who seem to try to make up for their inadequacies...............

 

Great thread Connie.

I really really hope whoever that CO is to come to my neck of woods for a week or two every year. That would save some nice fisheries from being destroyed but people fishing multiple rods and keeping everything (legal or not).

 

No comment on the particular incident about your buddy. If he got charged because the fish was indeed out of the range then let's say he is unlucky. He reacted professionally though I have to say. For the group keeping 31 more than allowed..... penalty was too light for them in my book.

GCD, I'd go fishing with you anytime lots of other good input in here too.

 

The point is, the law is the law, follow it and be respectful of the officers enforcing it and you'll never have a problem.

 

If you do, then it's a problem with the officer, and that is a whole different issue.
