Thanks for sharing your pics with us, some beautiful fish for sure.
We have a rule on this site where if a member chooses not to share the location of a place they have fished then other members are not suppose to ID the location or even guess where it is. Mods can't catch everything, all the time, so it is really helpful if members would hit the report post button when they see others breaking this rule.

Was showing Cookie some of your photos. First thing she did was say....isn't that......
I stopped her before she said it out loud
Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew

Yeh it's called "hot spotting" ? I did it by accident several years ago, got well blasted for it.

I think we have all seen fishing spots get trampled by the masses after the word got out.
Many years ago I told a co-worker about the fantastic perch fishing in a small Idaho reservoir, I didn't see any harm in it since he rarely fished. Soon afterward a different fellow placed a hand drawn map to the reservoir on my desk and asked me to mark where I had caught all the jumbo perch. Lesson learned.

I can respect people not wanting to divulge a location -- but what confuses me is if you really don't want people to know, then why post it on a forum with pictures for people to see?
Nice fish. Thanks for sharing.

"enjoying the beauty of these fish" that's why.

Nice fish. Thanks for sharing. 'Seems pretty simple to me and I'm sure many others on this site feel the same way. It's all about sharing what we all enjoy doing, fishing and catching and I'm not sure about you but sharing pics of the fish we catch helps others experience the joy we have when we catch those fish. I doubt he is concerned about the people that know the location he was fishing, because they already knew but sharing the location with the lurkers and members that don't know, that is the problem here, that is exactly why we have the rules of not telling a location when the OP does not share it.

Nice photos Bigsky, Nice fish I don’t care where you fish.
What ever happened to Loah? He used to post some really cool pics, and he had a knack for some creative poses that told the stories with out disclosing the locations.
There are some waters that depend on the advertising on of the great fishing so as save the survival pools in dry years. That popularity holds more wait than some believe when it comes to the allocation of those last precious drops come September.

Nothing wrong with sharing. I enjoy the pictures. I like seeing fish.
I just find it a bit ironic when people want to "share", but at the same time bring out the "hot spotting" card.
I'm all for posting pictures of fish. Keep it up. But don't cry foul when people start discussing the location of your catch after you post a bunch of pictures. If the location is that sensitive, then maybe consider not sharing...

If the location is that sensitive, then maybe consider not sharing... This rule has been in place for many many year, so the OP has the right to complain about it. We would much rather have him posting the pics and not sharing the location than not posting at all. Please stop giving this member a hard time about this PBH, what you see as crying foul is not what others see, enough said.

I know the rule -- which is why I haven't said "looks like xyz...". I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the rule. I'm not giving him a hard time either. I'm just saying that there is some irony in it. i'm not saying anyone should change anything. Just pointing out the irony. it's neither good, nor bad. The cool kids call this a "nothing burger". Carry on.

People just don't value something that they didn't have to put in the time, effort, and $$$ to figure out.
