Fish killing mentality
« on: September 16, 2006, 08:31:08 PM »
I wont name names and wont point fingers but I am an inquisitive person and just need to know. If someone has 30 sockeye why are they killing 12inch coho jacks? Dont take this personal. Do they need the meat that bad? I mean what ever happened to catch and release? What happened to fishing for the sport and not just the meat. I know myself I would release anything smaller than 4lbs right now since I have 10 fish in the freezer.

Hatchery Coho are meant to be taken for sport anglers, so why not enjoy another good meal you worked hard to find.
But yeah i believe to that so many people are just in it for the meat, and not the sport.

haahahhahahahaahaa LMFAO, first of all my fish were not nearly 12 inches, They were capilano size 2-3lbs. And THOSE FISH INHALED MY ROE. and i mean inhaled. I had to cut the line both times to get the hook out and there were bleeding. Luckily they were hatch or those poor suckers were gonners. Sockeye is the only Meat fishery too me. I love early mornings on the vedder and love the feeling when my float rockets under!!! To me taking fish home is just a bonus.  And if I drive an hour and a bit I sure hope ill bring something home  ;D I sense some jealousy from eddis part  ;D

Ask rodney what they do with hatchery fish that make it back to the channel. They are there to be kept. However the only time i might consider keeping something that small would be if i was camping and it was early in the morning. ie: Breakfast ;D

Jealous? Not really, I catch plenty of fish its not the point. I am more of a sportsfisherman than a meat fisherman. I love the feeling I get when a salmon, trout or anything takes my float under, takes my fly etc. I also enjoy the days when I catch nothing like today. Just getting out with my friends, being out in the frsh air, or just spending some quality time with my son is all I need to fullfill my needs to fish.

I would have killed those fish if i got em, i saw them right when they were gutted, nice looking fish. I bet 99% of you would have kept them if you werent catching much all day. Like others said all hatchery fish are there for are for killing for sporties. Now for instance if you were alowed to keep wild fish, and he kept those then that would just be something else. As they are part of real reproduction. my 2 cents, NICE FISH DANN
