Just wondering Saxe, youre not the guy who keeps stirring up **** on here and getting booted off only to come back under a new name and do the same are ya ? Your ranting sounds kinda familiar. anyhow just wondering.
I don't get it Saxe. Is all your trying to say is that poor and homeless need food more than than the average sports fisherman? Isn't that obvious. The way I read it was that you were saying there are other fisherman out there that need fish more than the average sports fisherman. Is this right? Who would this needy fisherman be? Commercial fisherman get more than enough fish after they are done. Aboriginal fisherman get plenty as well. They distribute throughout their community and from what I have heard and seen, they usually have a stocked freezer and don't finish what they are given before it goes bad. So you can't be referring to this group. Who are these poor and needy fisherman? Don't get me wrong, I have a job and could afford to buy food instead of catching it, (couldn't afford halibut on my wage) but I enjoy time on the water hunting down a fresh piece of meat. Also, I do feel there are people in our communities that need food more than sporties, but I can't conceive them using money to buy gear to try and catch their food. And considering this all stems from keeping large halibut, they would require a lot more than a cheap rod and reel to be able to catch these.
I've got a ? for you...... have you ever released a large halibut?
with up to a dozen LL skates lying all around us on one specific spot we fish off the South Island 9/10ths of the Spring, it makes it a rather difficult decision to let the big one go, regardless of what your gut fealing is.
What are the chances it will get through the gauntlet? The next morning it will quite possibly be heading over the stern of an 88 % craft.
Two wrongs dont make it right, but the 88/12 stands out loud and clear to me.... Fockers!
