That guy is a fag. he looks like a cross between the lead singer of the spin doctors,and the geico caveman. There are pics of him running ,it appears,to get the fish back in the river. It should have stayed in the river. What a maroon. Wearing sage hat,with flea flicker garb,looking like a neanderthal, and clueless as to how you are supposed to handle wild steelhead. WTF???

First some dickweed gets a 30 pounder and bonks it,now we see the guy from the movie quest for fire taping off a fish in a puddle of mud. What a dipshit.

doesn't set a very good example for a "guide".

The money shot is still magic.

Could have done without the fluffer shots.

It certainly took away from the money shot we all saw.
Can't afford the Kispiox lodge but wouldn't go there if I could now.
As far as dude's appearance I kinda expect guides to look like that....and lots do. No problem with that part of the equation.

Here is some more gasoline guys....

YIKES!!!!!!!!!

Yikes is right.
That is an OP fish.
I saved the pic last year.
It was on a taxidermy site.
Thought it a fitting visual as per recent posts.

Ya....even with a good SLR camera that shoots in fully auto mode.....that is still a couple minutes worth of pics. Thats just not right.

Though I agree that this individual's actions were wrong and completely contrary to the conservation of wild steelhead, your statement shows complete ignorance on your part. Maybe you could be a little more articulate and show some intelligence in your choice of words. I question whether or not you even know or understand why your statement is so offensive. As to the remainder of your post I completely agree.

I had similar thoughts. I was thinking "maybe they used 3 frames per second mode on the camera" which, theoretically could make the fish appear to be out of the water longer than it really was???"

But,

The poses are too dis-similiar which means precious seconds(or minutes) that were needed to get all those shots. The part I struggle with is the thing flopping around in the mud. Understandably, the guy was probably pretty jazzed......I would be. But why is it so damn hard for guys to keep a fish in a reasonable(foot or more) amount of water so the fish can recover while measurements pics are being done?

I don't get it.

Okay okay my bad......homosexual. Better??

My name is avidangler,and I approve of this message.

I don't care how big that fish was, there's no excuse for molesting a fish like that if it's going to be released.

Avid you are a character. Good to see another one on the board!

Gutted and on the floor? If it was me that boot would have went back in the river, clipped or not.

Yes, it is your bad. Can you enlighten everyone as to what sexuality has to do with the persons conduct as a fisherman? Additionally, you use "homosexual" in a context in which one might infer there is something wrong with being a homosexual. Ones own opinions of sexuality has no place in this discussion, nor should it be used in such a derogatory manner.

who cares what the guide looks like???wtf.. i could care less what they look like hell they could be hung over still drunk not showered in a week, as long as they are fun to fish with and put you on fish. and get you from point a to b in a safe manner.isn't that what there job is. didn't know fishing guides turned into a beauity contest.

as far as the amount of pics yeah it was alot.. prolly a little to many, probably taped it and took pics of the taping to keep the "he was long arming" or "no way it measured that" coments to rest. and as far the amnount of pics changing what a great fish of a life time it was i dunno about that. they are strong fisheven with misshandling. and im sure hind sight is 20-20. and after relized it was a bit much. who knows mabee it was a film camera and he wantd to make sure he got a good one???

Hoosier, its obvious this guy was trying to get it on with the fish before releasing him, thus avid is correct.

I think i could agree with you in a sick sort of way, he probably was trying to go down on that fish.


WTF? ^^^^

KK

i don't believe thats what i said, or was implying. just a "possability" as to why he filmed the taping of the fish.

For those of you jealous of that guy and Todd, here's your picture and web link:
