Treble hooks; just say no

Hi Blackmax. What I said is most "ocean front states":

Alaska Washington Oregon California Florida Maine.

That represents well over 50% of US coastline & all coastline where Salmon are caught in the salt.

profisher, I agree with you.

Bottom line to all; do whatever you can to protect the resource or don't.
It took me til the age of 50 to start questioning my impacts on the fish.
I am OK with whatever choice you make but not OK with some of the attitudes on here.

Well, I for one would like to thank you for giving up fishing so the rest of us can have one more here or there. Pretty cool thing to do, actually.

Me? I am more nuts about fishing than ever. I do retain fewer fish & try not to kill fish I release. Just because they swim away doesn't mean they survive a week later; they get diseases from being handled as well as damage from hooks.

Oh sorry, I thought when you said "do whatever you can to protect the resource or don't" you meant you were doing whatever you could, not being one of the guys who isn't. My mistake.
