I think I am safe Tyler, this is only like my 2nd or 3rd thread I have ever responded to regarding C&R on macks.[:p]
Anyway I do not care if anyone wants to keep any size of fish, for whatever they wish, fertilizer, feeding the dog, on the wall, or whatever. Tear it up, have a good time, just do it on your own accord.
I due however strongly disagree with a "Guide" who has obtained the knowledge of how to catch these fish, not practicing the etiquite of C&R on his or her boat; not only for others, but to ensure his future livelyhood.
I have only been to the Gorge three times this year, and from what I have noticed along with what I have heard from other regulars is big fish numbers are way down. Hell even on Jim's own website he feels the big fish numbers not only caught but also graphed in the regular locations are down around 20% from years past.
My argument may get old or boring, but I will continue voicing it, just as you and Matt will continue with rebuttals.
