Not big on eating fish. I'm in meadville btw so if you were referring to me I'm not a "local"

Same people **** about other but it's ok for them.I guess it's human nature.
 

Right on the head hoss. A whole lot of hippocrisy goes on lol.

If you see someone snagging or anything else they shouldn't be doing, TAKE A PIC!
 
I took a pic of 3 elite fly fisherman (I flyfish too, but these dudes were pro's with fish on stingers) fishing Crooked Creek nursery waters, after telling them to look at the tree behind them with the no fishing sign. They ignored a older local who was yelling at them, and me. Took a picture of them, told them have fun going to give these to the officers.
 
Then parked up near 3 cars, 2 from New Jersey and 1 from Massachusetts. Taking the picture scared them and they walked back, took another of them at the cars with the license plate numbers.
 
Went to Walnut, showed the officer the picture he took down all the info. They actually caught the same guys later that week doing the same thing!
 
Lets start a Wall-O-Shame!

can someone explain muphere?
assuming its someone from out of town?
 
 
imagine if there was no internet and everyone just stopped reporting about fishing.....

Yinzers from the Burgh....!!!!  Of course WE are the problem, not the poachers, the Russian snaggers who ive witnessed and reported keeping snagged fish.  BTW if YOU SEE IT HAPPENNING REPORT IT!  Complaining on here does nothing.  Same thing with slobs who litter.  If you see something say something.  Or clean it up as you walk back down the creek to your car.  Hopefully the people who post on here are proactive and do something about the problems they see. 
 
As for reporting your catch on the inturdnet, look no farther than this thread.  Gopros and youtube videos in frog water low clear conditions in a stocked man made fishery....its way beyond just spot burning now.  The "secret" has been ahht for a long time. 

 
 
the gopros and you tubers... lol
 
the facebook pages also   ....... I think there's a Pittsburgh steelhead page ... idk....  theres one down down my way (mercer county) that absolutely ruined and exploited a fishery... I wont name drop em bc then more idiots would show up .... you're right secrets out tho..
 
 
 

All for a Snagger wall of shame? I like that idea! Is it illegal to share pics of license plates??

Insultin a mans videos be worse than insultin his mother. 

On a serious note, there most certainly are dumb feesh. Accidentally bounced one of my flies off a fish's back last weekend, and put it right in front of the same feesh the very next cast, only for him to hit it.

I like to watch fishing youtube videos sometimes.  But not ones that are boring.  With a large family I love and a job I enjoy, I don't get to fish very much anymore.  Johnthefisherman and others who video...you need to make BETTER videos.  Slapping a gopro on your head and talking slowly into the camera as you drive home is not fun to watch.  I'm not attacking you, you seem like a genuinely good duud who loves to fish and you give good advice on this forum.  I enjoy your posts.  My point was that your videos along with my facebook fotos (I'm guilty too) and a million other duuds....we are all at fault.  The secret is ahht.  We are broadcasting to everyone that the fish are here.  I still hope that people will show some restraint and not film and photo the smaller creeks and blow up the many spots that are on private property that owners permit us to fish on. 
 
As for your vids....you gotta get some edits going, and some good music.  Check out some of Jon B's stuff, or uncut angling and take some cues from them.  They have more expensive equipment but with a little bit of time and effort it can be much more interesting for the viewer.   

You can't fix stupidity . I recently met john on the streams this weekend and he is a good guy . You have no room to say his videos are boring if you clearly watched it.

This is a 4 round points match. Signups close at 3pm.

Your automatically disqualified if you have a GoPro... wouldn't want the Erie secret to ft out

I took no offense to fisherofmen's comments, and I would like to get some better equipment, and provide more commentary and maybe design an original intro for a more polished product. It's just that I began the channel with a very low budget, and just haven't really got around to upgrading much yet. I have no problem with people offering criticisms and suggestions. 

As for photos/ videos telling people that the fish are here, were going to have to agree to disagree on that. In 2015 I actually stopped mentioning any specific stream names because of these so called "spot burning" complaints were becoming a distraction from the subject matter of the video. But, let's be realistic. A) Every spot in my video from last weekend was a well known community hole on/ accessible by public property B) Go look at the Facebook pages for Poor Richard's, East End Angler, Uncle John's Campground, many of which have thousands and thousands of followers, and see that they have been posting reports about steelhead being in for the past two weeks, many of which have referenced specific spots. Add that to the people who call these places up and ask for reports, and it's a pretty sizable chunk. Goerie.com/ the Erie Times-News post a weekly fishing report that has been discussing steelhead since the beginning of the month. Even the Fish and Boat Commission posts weekly reports on their website, which have discussed steelhead the past two weeks, it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure out that there are some fish around. None of us owns the water, and it's not like there is some sort of secret steelhead Illuminati.With all this out there, it's a bit ridiculous to act someone sharing a photo of a steelhead on facebook with a few hundred friends, in my case maybe 50 who actually know how to cast a fishing rod, and probably less than 20% of THAT that would have any idea of what's going on if I took them to a trib, is doing serious damage.

John will have to bring a drone next time he comes to Erie to be compared to john b . I'm assuming john really doesn't care that his videos aren't as good as a kid that has all day to edit them.

Uhhh, actually you are wrong.  I DO have room to say that, BECAUSE I watched it and was less than excited!  As I SAID in my post-John seems like a good duud and his posts are good.  And he took the feedback like a good duud would....you on the other hand seem upset.  No need to be.  I'm glad you met the guy and like him.  My opinion of his videos (or anything else) isn't gonna shatter his world bro.  I ALSO STATED that other ppl have more expensive equipment and that's probably outside of what most folks are gonna commit to.  But anyone with an hour to spare can add a few edits, music, etc.  That's what I suggested.  No need to call anyone stupid and get butt hurt.
