Not exactly sure why, but I keep clicking on this ole dead horse. Infatuated with dirty laundry I guess.
It seems like the guys with the most knowledge are the ones who always get their panties in a wad. There seems to be a massive seperation between knowledge and wisdom...there usually is.
Ive said it before and I'll say it again.."Ignorance is bliss!" :D
Over and out on this one! :D :D 8)

Covelo, I hope you didn't take offense to my tongue in cheek comment in response to yours about the dead horse, but it appears that you did. You should know I'm not that serious of fellow as mine was written in jest. Sorry if you were put off by it.
Interestingly, there is little in this thread that I don't agree with. But since real remedies are not likely to be implemented anytime soon, I think it would be a good idea that we do what we can, one fisherman at time (which my guess would be thousands and thousands in the State of CA), when the opportunity presents itself. And it presents itself every time you land a fish. Of course, there are lots of other things that can, and should, be done at every level. ycflyfisher, among others, have shed light on this subject and his elaborate post has me thinking about what more I can do on a personal level, especially when I'm streamside. But I didn't call you an ill-informed, uneducated on the subject matter, opinion not worthy of consideration idiot, for simply offering your opinion, did I?
All I'm suggesting is we do what we can when we have the opportunity. And catch and release is immediate. And like Carl said, it's a great feeling, and I think you should try it, right after you finish lobbying the legislature.
I would be disappointed to lose your input to a elite forum for you, ycflyfisher and Darian, where only elevated discussions take place among the truly educated and knowledgeable, leaving this forum for us mere all-we-have-is-our-fishing-experiences mortals. And Darian, as the elder-statesmen of this board, I'm disappointed you feel only the loss of ycflyfisher's expertise would downgrade the discussion. It would be a shame to lose anyone from this board because they feel intimidated that their opinion isn't elevated, worthy, relevant, respected or whatever big word you feel comfortable with. No reason to make anyone feel unimportant. Shame-shame.
As bigtj said, you guys can kill your catch, those that think catch and release is a good idea will return theirs, and that's that.
Love your quote, jbird!
I apparently have way too much spare time on hand. WinterrunRon… out!

How in the H__LL did we get around to the point in this thread where complimenting one member of this BB community offends or makes another member feel, somehow, less than adequate..... What started out as an interesting/ informative subject has degraded into some "kidding on the square".
Once again, too much righteous indignation here. :( :( :(

Looks like we need another emoticon after reading this thread.
Plenty of them out there but this one made me laugh.

Darian,
I knew you were good for a couple of more big words with lots of consonants! In fact, I looked up indignation just to be sure:
“Anger aroused by something unjust, mean, or unworthy”
Don’t take my posts so serious. I told you I wurnt that serious a fella, and anger is far from an emotion I feel related to fishing! But I figured I could get your goat with that one (goats, dead horses, this could be a 4H BB!).
Want to fish together this week? Do you fish locally? Care to float the American for some stripers? Let me know.
BTW, never heard of “kidding on the square.” Please explain.

Kidding On The Square...

Ron,.... Hope you won't take my post too seriously but I'll bet I don't have to explain what kidding on the square means to you since you do it so well....

Thanks from the invitation to go fishing but I'm kinda busy getting ready to enter a racquetball tournament and go to Baja, shortly, and don't have a lot of time for fishing.... 8) 8) 8) 8)
