Guest dabnis Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 It's kind of funny how a lot of the same people doing all that P&Ming from yesterday are being so polite today. If someone, ANYONE, would have pointed that out to me yesterday, in a nice, polite PM, all this talk would'nt have even started. I got a post from a guy who said that some of you act like bass are on the endangered species list. What difference does it make where I take a picture? Is there some rule for this board that says you can't take pics in your kitchen? Another guy said maybe I should take them in the bathroom. Would that appease all the sensitive C&R people? What's so special about catching and keeping Crappies, Walleyes, Blue Gills that's different from bass? You guys the "Bass Police" now? This is a public forum, isn't it? It says that you can "brag like the rest of us", right? So I bragged and took some pics in my kitchen. I have'nt broken any laws or rules so get over it. If you see my name (dabnis) on the postboard there's probably gonna be some pics and they just might be in my kitchen (or bathroom) so don't stop and look or read. Move on. And just so's you know troutfisher, I'm not looking for friends. I was just sharing. Just like you.
Valascus Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Whew...this one got out of hand quick! I have already learned my lesson about letting my emotions cloud my judgement and lashing out at other members. Let's just take a deep breath everyone and relax. I understand both points of view that have been posed here. I am very much for C & R and practice it the vast majority of the time. The only time I keep a bass is when the body of water I am fishing is in need of seletive harvest for the greater good of the overall ecosystem and health of the fishery...and those I keep are usually dinks. That is simply my preference. If this person has decided to keep his catch, then as long as he has purchased a fishing license, obeys all length and limit laws, and doesn't do it ALL the time, then he is well within his rights. I can see how some of these pics may be tough to see. I am not horribly fond of them either. Those are indeed quality fish, the kind I usually release so they can grow bigger and tougher to catch to pose a greater challenge and thrill for those who will catch it after myself. But again, as ,long as it was all done following the letter of the law, then so be it.

And just so's you know troutfisher, I'm not looking for friends. I was just sharing. Just like you. I did not message you, nor say anything that should have upset anyone. As I've said before, as long as you're doing it legally, all is fine. BUT, if you want to show off your fish, and don't want the negative comments, an easy way to get rid of those negative comments would be to be considerate and post pictures that aren't in the kitchen. You're allowed to post kitchen pictures, but others are allowed to voice their opinions on it as well. This whole thing just needs to be dropped. This discussion could go on for years, but there's absolutely no point. Post kitchens pictures if you'd like, but if you'd like others to be nice, or happy for you, pictures of them alive may get you that.
Troutfisher Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Wow, a guy fishing for something to eat WHAT A CONCEPT!!!!! ;D Hey there are ways of DISSAGREEING WITHOUT BEING DISSAGREEABLE I have been guilty of not doing this and the people here and the Mods, helped me how to learn how to discuss touchy subjects without calling people names,threatning to leave the boards or participationg in ugliness IT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT IN THE CASES WITH GUYS WHO GET A DOLLAR A WORD ;D Everytime I see that dollar a word stuff I think of that guy...
Super User David P Posted August 2, 2007 Super User Posted August 2, 2007 So Dabnis feels the need to PM me for I dont' know what reason. I don't think I said anything negative about him what so ever. "I did'nt misunderstand anything. It's not about the forum rules, it's about the *aholes* who think they're better than somebody else. Including you! I'll take my name off this site, unsubscribe to it or wwhatever. I'm just glad that I never have to fish with high and mighty ******** like you and the rest who had two cents to add. And in closing... You and all the rest can go *he said the f word* yourselves with the bass you "catch and release". How's that?"
