Oversize are coming

[huntnphool]

and if i was to stop in reality what would that do? all the other people would still be fishing for them....

Buy if that statement doesn't show what kind of self centered, narrow minded person you are!!!

How does that make me self centered? If I stop doing something I love and many many people love because of some iffy facts...... what good would it do? the whole bitch about the oversize fishery is that it "may" effect spawning..... so if one boat stops is that going to stop every other guide and rec angler that also fishes for them during the summer? NO.. so in reality what effect would that have on anything?  not a damn thing....... so how exactly is that self centered?

Thats fine argue away, I love though when someone posts numbers on a forum its always bragging, how about just the truth?

Hmm really???

im just 1 boat and hooked almost 200 last year myself

 Boy you should have been in that tournament you would have won it for sure! 

In your own words ... " how about just the truth?"

how does catching oversize lead to winning a tournament for legal size fish?  and if the numbers seem inflated you can ask any of the people on this site that fish with me..... we put 23 to the boat in a day and a half last year....  *censored*.... im braging again

Hey Einstien ... it means if you can catch 200 oversized you should be able to catch 3 keepers in a tournament that over 80% of the 280 boats didn't even have a leagal fish! But you know all those guys including me don't know how to fish as good as you so you should have been a shoe in!

  To be honest to each their own...

Hey Hoyt, are you a guide registered in Washington or Oregon or both and do you have a website?

[JoeVon]

If he was a "guide" he'd have some Coast Guard Certs.....maybe they are listed somewhere?

huntnphool and joevon beat me to it but ... I thought you said you were a guide? All of the guides I know of down there know of plenty of holes with leagal sized fish for their clients that want to take home meat! Are you only a guide for oversized fish?  sounds odd to me when most of the poeple want to bring home meat.

[JoeVon]

I think that Hoytprostaffer ought' to kick some money into the site here and become a sponsor....It seems like thats what most other Legitamate Buisness Owners and Guides do.

No

Take it easy on him guys.  I don't want you to run him off, I am learning so much.

Sweet topic guys I learned a lot... not. The way I see it... if there's a question about the mortality and spawning rate of these fish that are hooked... then lay off them. No need to go pissing in our own pool just so you can see a "10 fish tailwalking"... sounds like there's enough incidental hook-ups where this occurs... so enjoy those, and dont' target the potential spawners. It's akin to fishing nate steelhead on the reds, or hunting coyotes this time of year... it just ain't neccessary and it is potentialy harmful.

I propose a name change... how about "Hoytstaffinfection"... sounds about right.
