[QUOTE="bob, post: 1340014, member: 5603"] I�ve been doing this since I was old enough to cast. I�ve caught them all, and eaten them all. I like White Bass, LM Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Redeye, Black Perch, Rainbow Trout over 15� and under 20�, Striper, Hybrids, Walleye, Sauger, and perhaps most of all smaller blue Cats from clean waters, for the table. I will eat any of these fish if the mood hits while I�m deciding whether they live or die after biting my hook. My argument here is about broadcasting on a heavily viewed forum the Harvest of fish, complete with exact location, exact �idiot proof� technique, and the constant encouragement for others to join in on the carnage. There are a lot of unscrupulous people who don�t give a rats arse about a fishery, haven�t paid their dues, don�t respect what TWRA�s mission is, and don�t respect the sport. Getting on a forum and making it easy for those folks is out right ignorance and shows how green and immature the people who do it are. If a group of people showed up on a great fishery and started harvesting limits and then went to every board in the region, and out of the region, and posted exact data like has been posted here. Pretty soon the crowds start showing up and growing exponentially every weekend until you can�t fish your beloved area without getting pissed off. Tubs, watch some of the true Greats of the sport, Dahlberg, Pallet, Linder, Dance, etc. Notice they don�t volunteer a lot those great local locations. You�re a good fisherman, I�ll give you that but it�s your disdain for others �fly guys� that I think makes you post what you post. Or maybe you think you discovered something nobody else knew about... Well truth is everybody else was enjoying it long before you showed up. Your just the loud mouth that told everybody else about while ringing the diner bell. You�re evolving as an angler. A lot of the so called �elitist�, what ever that�s supposed to mean, went through the same evolution. Once you�ve seen a few of your favorite fishing locations get fished out and never return to the grandeur you remember. Or you drive for several hours to your favorite honey hole only to find the ramp full of trailers and five boats on your favorite spot, then maybe you�ll understand. Enjoy yourself tell everyone what you catch then lie like hell about where you caught it and what you caught it on. Lying is perhaps the most valuable lesson a fisherman needs to learn. Maybe not be the rant you were looking for but there it is. [/QUOTE]
