Mountin' Man,
In your last post, I would appreciate you not leaving out words if you are going to quote me.(your first quote of mine leaves out any words I guess that don't pertain to your point)

I do release all wild steelhead. I would encourage all anglers to release wild steelhead. I would like to see the laws make releasing wild steelhead mandatory. Yes, in my eyes, in this time of critical mass I do consider bonking wild steelhead to be ethically questionable, to say the least.

I do appreciate in all sincerity your time, effort and money that has gone directly to help steelhead fishing. Thanks. I will however, choose to do my part in a different way.
