Good on your buddy for getting in the river to release the fish properly.  Too many times I have seen them dragged up on the rocks by guys in jeans.  Well done..

I find it amusing that people feel the need to make comment on his attire when I post a photo of him.

I find it amusing that you find it amusing. The dude is standing in a river in jeans in the winter.

Noteworthy and worth commenting on.

Fish handling looks good though.

I agree...what's with these people that are always looking to make some smart comment. It's like freakin elementary school all over again.
Great report and beauty fish and continue to wear what ever the hell you want regardless of what jealous beakers say.

No, he just realized that his jeans were as good as his Bares.

ROTFLMAO!!! A worthy candidate for funny one-liner of the year. ;D
If would be even funnier if it weren't so true! Especially with the newer Bare line of waders. ::)

As for the fisherman in jeans...my hat is off to you, young man.
You showed more respect for your catch than some people I know who wear over a grand worth of SIMMS wading products.

This is a discussion forum what did you expect? It was a great effort to release the fish, but i've seen many other jean wearing fisherman beach wild fish because they didn't want to get wet....so i find all the 'smart comments' to be valid.

I commend the guy for getting in the river in those conditions but do think it's worth a comment or two.  How many times have I seen guys in all simms gear back up 15 yards off the river just to land a beauty fish.  quirky or not this guy gets my respect!

If you come to any online discussion with the expectation of negative comments from other participants, then chances are you will put any unintended comment out of context.

As blaydRnr said, it's a DISCUSSION forum, one shouldn't be surprised if a comment is made about the jeans because it's unusual.

Dion's "Might be time for a pair of waders now." doesn't mean he thinks any less of the guy. He probably, like me, thought the guy is pretty crazy for getting into that cold water to hold a fish (good for him, putting welfare of the fish ahead of himself). Most of us wouldn't do it, that's why we have waders, so he suggested... Not sure how one little comment turns him into a jealous beaker who is always out to make a smart comment...

I rarely catch fish, so I don't have to worry about standing in the water. ;D

That's the same problem I have!

I remember when I wore shorts so I could wade my first steel season (much like I would in the fall), big mistake.
I commend that guy, it's not easy to do, and I wouldn't dare do it again. Bad enough having leaky waders!
