wolf, due to the economy, i have told my wife that this year i start keeping fish. tough times, indeed. ya know, it is a shame people cannot develop a taste for carp.....as i know a good place.

i do hope that illegally caught fish are returned, though. i could never understand why anyone would fish like that in a place like that when walleye are to be had all over the lake, close to shore, at this time of year. just takes a pair of waders and some warm clothes.

psu, i am almost certain it is single-hook. every available game warden is dispatched there in the spring, which leaves other areas wide open to snagging. i hear the mahoning river below berlin dam is quite vulnerable to snaggers in the spring because of this.

wolf, i remember back in the mid 70s, during the arab oil embargo, when guys were shoulder to shoulder on the ohio causeway bridge. some would put bar stools against the railing and spend countless hours there. one guy from cleveland had a net with at least a 12 foot handle to net fish. one night as he swung the net across the railing, a car came an spun the net and him around. never did see him again. we would fish on the rocks with raps and jigs and watch the circus above and down from us.
 
The guys there have came up with a better idea to "net" the fish now.  They tie a long rope to each side of a orange milk crate and put a 10 pound weight in the bottom.  You drop it down and it goes underwater.  Then you pull it up to "net" the fish and pull it up.  Very clever actually.
