This youtube clip speaks for itself.....

But, I'll say one word... Asinine.

That fish is only about 18 pounds...which makes it no less retarded to bonk it. If he wanted to eat it...well, it's a boot winter run, it'll taste like wet toilet paper soaked in herring oil...if he wanted a mount (which is cool, but I'd save my money for an actual big fish to mount it), he could have had a repro done...

Whatever.

Fish on...

Todd

I'm dying. Let the blessed fish go to make babies.

Hawg Quest sucks.

Stupid and wasteful.

+ 1,000

How do people like that get a fishing show? Absolutely retarted!

Pretty hard to more of a jackass than that. Needs a swift kick right square in the nuts.

Wow, I forgot about that. I mustve been wasted the first time I seen it. ANyone know how long ago that was? ANyone know if he continues this practice?

Nothin' worse than a pansy-a$$ indecisive netshot.... excpet of course a DEAD wild steelhead.

I know hes on Ifish we should let him know thats not cool, I think he is Hawgkiller or something like that, Doc would know.

I watched that video after abu-loomis told everyone about it on the other thread. Wondered why it took so long for it to be brought to your guys attention. somebody atta forward this to ifish. gotta get the word out on the street that glenn is a joke!

Seen the thread somewhat on the video, when I strted looking into it. He is HawgKiller I believe but only 31 posts or something. Everyone was all pissin their pants over it, and i didnt see a damn thing about why didnt you release it. Except for the misplaced bitching about someone bitching after someone deleted the first bitching, if that makes sense. Screw this noise, I am spending too much time on this website. Need to quit bitching and do some fishing.

I believe 'vomi-licious' is the word I'm looking for...

Musta been a while ago... Umpqua is closed to nate retention ('bout friggin time )

Bummer...

+1,234,423 on a repro if taxi is the only cause for bonkage ( & +1 to Todd's wet t.p....)

Getting everyone to do something voluntarily that is legal to do otherwise, is pretty hopeless. A good thing, but hopeless.

edit...deleted a repeated post

douche bags!!

That is a very old video, and unfortunately it was legal and common to bonk nates at that time on the Umpqua, it was the culture back then.

Glenn has discussed the subject several times over the years and said he would handle the situation differently now.

I'll give him credit for a subsequent change of heart, but irregardless of whether he released it or not, that is Glen at his irritating best, and why the show is generally lame.

wow, kind of funny how the last "hawg quest" thread was a big love-fest over a bunch of obnoxious TV fishermen.

i guess i don't care for that show much because it sums up so much that i hate about modern river fishing -- a bunch of macho dimwits with expensive gear bragging about how great they are.
