Although I release all native steelhead (as required by law where I fish), and throw all hatchery bucks back the last half of the season (you can only eat so much), I need to find a place, preferably in Washington state, where I can legally catch and kill a 30 lb steelhead. I want to make sure I can post pictures of the fish on PP, since all that heat just warms the soul with enlightened comments.....

If y'all spent half as much energy in changing the law as y'all did in cussin' and swearin' about a legally caught fish, y'all might have something more productive to show for it.....If you don't like the results, change the damn law!!!!

Working on that but thanks for the bitchin post...

That's why I pay dues to CCA, and, if you have any other suggestions for organizations, I'd be happy to entertain them, also......I can't vote in Washington, but money talks, bullsh!t walks was always my saying in politics......

You're such a tool.

If you don't like the way sh!t goes down at PP, then why don't you get the f.uck out?

Some of us y'alls have worked for years to change the rules about wild steelhead kill and didn't say a word about killing that large buck. Of course it upset me but it was legal.

Alan,
Few of here can agree on much but we just about all can agree that killing a 30lb steelie is worth bitching about. Few of those fish out there and they are needed to hopefully produce a few more in the future. Eat a damn hatchery fish if you are hungry or drive five miles down the road and buy one out of the back of someones trunk on the res if you just have to taste a native. They didn't make it anyway. If a 30lb has beaten the nets and made it to teh grounds no fisherman should bonk it in this day and age when all you need is measurements to mount it.
Lastly, we all do what we can and for some that is more than others. There are good people here that work hard and many other that contribute in their own way be it time or money. Just because it states in the law that it is OK does not make it right. And without people to organize themselves on sites like this there would be no organization and fight at all.

If you spent less time trolling this board and more time on the "other" board that you frequent where you don't try to stir the pot, you would look that much less stupid.

Telling observation about that "other" board, snivelheader.net; there is a thread about that Hoh 30 pounder, and not a single person either noticed or mentioned it was a wild fish. But there were comments about BBQs and canning fish.

Just sayin'....

dear asshat,

you just made one of the stupidest post in the world

Don't forget the guy's post who said Pete should cut off the head and wear it around his neck like Flava Flav, Quality Fisherman on that board!

guys bounce all over these boards, big deal. so what if comments are made on another board.

a guy kills a big legal fish. can't bring it back. quit crying over it. we got pedophiles stalking and killing children in this state and no seems mind that. (illegal) kill a big native and you guys become a lynchmob. (legal) it's quite sad when i really sit back and observe where peoples personal ethics are.

its like dennis miller said one time.
"i've seen people step over a homeless man lying in his own filth, only to spit on someone wearing fake fur. "

That sure was a thread killer Brewer.

Comparing apples to cinder blocks, no correlation.

Actually, I really like PP. It's the most religious of any of the steelhead boards. Several folks like gohardley are the High Priests of the Holier Than Thou, Most Self Righteous Church of the Progressive Movement. This Holier Than Thou, Most Self Righteous Church doesn't exist anywhere else, except in right wing Evangelical Churches (think Jimmy, Tammi and all those other good folk). I only come here for the spiritual fulfillment that I find.

I'm curious if this guy will get any endorsement offers or free gear or both for his "record" fly rod caught fish. Money and/or fame can really challenge some people's ethics. I'm not defending what he did, but I ask myself what I would do if I knew I could pocket enough money from manufacturer's to have a retirement fund. Down here, a record largemouth bass might net you $1,000,000.00 or more for endorsements. Then again, bass fishermen aren't as noble as steelie fishermen...

That's hilarious and a classic!

I've got a great solution to both of these issues...take rocks, and bonk pedophiles instead.

Fish on...

Todd

todd i'm with you on that brother. if a dog attacks a child or attacks anyone we kill the dog. same with bears or any dangerous animal. but we let sex offenders run free vamping on our children. happened last week here in vanvouver. level 3 and yea he reoffended a 14 yearold girl to death. but kill a native and get a rope. sorry to kill the fun in this useless and ignorant thread.

i have to say that i completely agree with you on this one Todd. Bonk those sickos and bonk em good.

Good point Brewer Time to rid these FB's from the churches that render children....easy prey!

"Silent Lambs"

Time to quit turning the blind eye.
