Lol this thread hasn't been active years!  You responded to it like it was just yesterday...not sure most of the other dudes are even on this forum and at least one has passed away....

Bigfoot maybe folks quit posting because of responses like received from fisher 376.

Maybe not folks like you and me but many guys have found responses like that, to be demeaning or embarrassing.

Why start out a response with "LOL" or even mention some members being dead.

Wouldn't a simple explanation be more friendly sounding?

Anyways, I never fished the LJ but back in the 70s/80s I knew instructors at the PA Fire Academy who loved to fish and loved talking about the experience on the LJ.

I also release alot of fish, but I also like to keep a few to have on the grill, after all that is why fishing started in the first place.I am not bashing catch and release, nor fly fisherman but I had a fly fisherman tell me arent you going to release that fish, I just said no Im going to eat it, I stated I  dont tell you how to fish and I bought my license so Yes im keeping this fish. the point is people need to mind ther own biss and keep there traps shut, I dont bother anyone when I fish and I expect the same in return but there is always a wise****who thinks he needs to tell me the bio bull****t, about how he is saving the stream, give me a break, how about some good old common sense.
 

I understand.
