Ok - I've posted my Kumbaya Kitties and tried to stay out if it, but really "how close?"
(I'm guilty, I also wear tye-dyes, hell I've even MADE tye dyes - and some damn fine ones if I do say so myself! How many can twist up a Turtle, or Guitar! OR a PEACE SIGN! Go Darhma Dyes!)
But some things have come, gone, come again - the marshmallows, powerbait, mention Banjo Minnow and see what happens! Suggest a fly-fisher tip with crawler[shocked]
[#BF0000] [/#BF0000] I think you're discovering some of the deep-seated differences in Angler Philosophy. Some are HARDCORE C&R trained (brainwashed?) and feel NO fish should ever be kept. While others practice - rightfully so - withing the regs - to keep and consume fish-resources. It's a sticky topic.
I think I personally fall somewhere in the middle - "selective harvest" is where I see the best balance - between fishery, and fisher, and table-fare. The biggest/the smallest go back. But if I'm 'allowed' 8 channel cats, and I come home with 5 for the smoker - ain't NOBODY's business to complain. Now if one was a 20+ lber, that's fodder for debate (I can only WISH!)
But it seems the knee-jerk reaction to many posts has caused much of the huffle-puff of late. I suggest we be slitherin back a step, and try no to react so abruptly, and (myself - top of the list!) try to refrain from "poking the bear" even if it's just intended for a widdle chuckle here and there. Then we can all Griff-endure and bring home the house cup!
Humor loses itself across a keyboard. Don't seem to matter how many 'emoticons' are added - the way "YOU" hear it when you type, and the way recipients "GET" it - never seems to match up. Even if you quote Darth Vader, or Beavis and Butthead to set the tone [:p]
Maybe we need sound effects and scratch-n-sniff to make it "real" on the internet! teehee.
