Did anyone hear the radio ad this weekend about the selling of tribal gillnetted springers? I swear to God it was on a local Portland AM station. Possibly 910AM the sports only station. Incredible!

Hey, the Indians are going to have excess springers coming out their ears because they threatened to sue to get the dams taken down, among other things, if they didn't get 13% allocation to the sportfishers 1% allocation (against Treaty law and Federal Court interpretations)!!! The feds and states both feared that threat enough to abide by this unfair attrocity! That's why we will watch most of the Columbia season from afar, while they slaughter a lot of natives in their gillnets and sell springers for $2 a pound out of pickup trucks. Watch them sell some starting to turn bad for $0.50 a pound. Ugly! Unfortunately, there will likely be plenty of buyers at those prices. mad

Hey Steve lets go up to Hood River and pose in front of those gillnetted fish like maybe we caught them! That way people will really think we know a lot about fishing laugh Hey and we can put pink worms in their mouths.Seriously though at even $1 a pound who in their right mind would buy fish out of the back of a pickup. How long did those fish stay in the water before they were hauled out? Do we have such a mindless consumer "Costco" mentallity that we would jump on such a bargain? Do you think people even care that these are endangered fish and they should'nt be gillnetted at all? I'll bet that it'll be bumper to bumper this weekend at Hood River and Cascade Locks with people cashing in on the "bargain" run of salmon. Disgusting!!!!!

I heard the radio ad also. Kind of got this bad feeling. It's like they are sticking it your face. I did not like it at all. I am calling the radio company and protesting the ad. mad

I have a standing rule that it is never really a good idea to buy food from something on wheels.
