Is it morally wrong...
« on: October 26, 2014, 12:15:57 PM »

The other day at the Stave I snagged a chum in the back and as I was going to release it another fisherman insisted I keep it. I know it was wrong but everyone was doing it so I just followed along. The meat ended up being junk and I threw it away but at last I got some good roe!!

What are your thoughts on this practice??

  • Good fishing is earned by hard work.

Well since you asked, i would say that makes you a poacher as you kept an illegally caught fish ( snagged). You then threw the fish away and justified it by saying you got some good roe. Maybe get some proper ethics and learn to respect your quarry and don't do things just because other people insist you do it. Would you have killed a wild coho or steelhead just because someone said go for it?

Fishing is a privilege, not a right. Follow the rules or stay the hell off of the water!

If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

Posting that you've done something illegal in a public forum whether it be as a joke or not, really isn't a good idea. I hope this still turns out okay for you.  :-\

Why's a guy with a jet boat and wearing a gloomis hat asking if it's morally wrong?! It's legally wrong and where's your integrity?

Can't be wrong if so many people are doing it.
Just like flossing.
