Nice job DeadI, looks like a blast.
Can I just get something off my chest here, This fish was taken legally. The Fisherman was on his first venture out spearfishing. The Fisherman was excited for the opportunity to participate in something he loves to do.
Does the proclamation say he could not harvest this fish!
Has the DWR not come out and asked us to harvest more fish? There have become to many individuals who feel that there "ethics" and there standard of fishing should be forced down the throat of everyone! I for one am tired of it!!
I have been fishing in Utah for over 40 years, I fished the glory days of Strawberry and Scofeild, We fished to harvest fish! We put food on the table, We bottle it for winter. We utilized ever fish we ever caught, And when we went back to the lake there were still fish, healthy fish
Today its almost a sin to bring some fish home to eat. Some of the looks I get when we are cleaning them at the cleaning stations is like we are stealing everyones fish.
With everyone released fish the DWR feels we are keeping to high of concentration in our lakes, to many fish competing for the food. Im sorry but I love to eat fish, smoke fish, bottle fish. I fish for that reason, the law allows me to do that, the law encourages me to do that. im sorry if some of you don't agree with that, it is what it is.
DeadI, go out there again, shoot an even bigger fish! I will be cheering you on.
