[QUOTE="Tubakka, post: 1347578, member: 5237"] Wow, guess I was wrong. Same ol' condescending scrubs. The trips I was talking about where the ones you were referring to, where the take you out hook the fish, hold it up etc...didn't know there was any other KIND of offshore. About the power of a large rockfish, not the kind I hooked...why don't you talk to Fred McClintock sometime? Ask him about a few of his "one-that-got-away" stories. Because we all know you routinely pull giant fish out of Tennessee. I harvested a musky and ate it. One. It tasted good. Not going to lie. I've only kept two ever. Out of 50-60 caught. That day we floated a small section of river and saw over 20 fish between 30"-46" or so. In a creek no more than 8 feet deep. Sound like a balance of fish to you? There is WAY too much poaching going on there, and I hear that the fish are being shot in the summertime, which needs to be taken care of, but seriously...that fishery has endured and thrived in WAY more than what little ol' me did on one occasion. I ain't da devil, and I did use the fish. it didn't go to waste. That's not bad, and the only time I'll do it again is if I get one over 52". Or I go back to a lake in Illinois where they're stocking farm ponds with more fish than the entire state of Tennessee then I might harvest a few. ...they were almost wiped out due to no regulation, and not by rod and reel anglers, by guys with spear guns. I never said wipe them. You're a very black-and-white kinda guy. Just because a few fish are taken doesn't mean its' evil. In this case it would be beneficial. Speaking of which I released a 27" brown today on the Caney...and I have the video to prove it. Beautiful male. But nowhere near what I want. I release most of my browns now, but if they fall in that 22-23" slot...they're going on the grill. Sorry. Perfect size. Any bigger, too much, any smaller, not enough. [/QUOTE]
