Gossip???? It’s funny the gossip that goes around before anyone actually knows or even attempts to get the facts. Then because of some BS gossip that no one has any practical evidence (other than gossip) to back up accusations start to fly. You want the facts about this call BK and ask him your self or you could just listen to the junior high school gossip, I am almost 100% positive BK’s phone # is not that hard to find.
Agenda’s definition: things to be done or a list of those things, as a list of the matters to be discussed at a meeting
Nope no agendas going on here.
I was out with BK that day running the boat. As far as filming cats I dont think we filmed 1 catfish that day and really didnt put much effort into filming catfish, it was all walleye, sauger, gar, shad, bass, and some suckers but mostly walleye and sauger for the viewing pleasure of us walleye fisherman. We also brang our walleye gear as it was the plan to film some walleye and then fish for some walleye. No agendas yet. We were moving spots and noticed the nets in the water and I yes I wanted to see the fish in the nets because I like fish, I really dont care what kind I like to see big fish. So as we approached the nets (just to check out the BIG carp and not to tamper with them) in about 8-10 FOW I noticed large amounts of dead fish on the bottom and could not tell what kind they were and asked Brian to drop the camera down because I wanted to make sure the dead fish were not a bunch of walleye. The amount of fish that you see dead in the video is actually a very small amount to what was actually there and thats not counting the ones that made it out into the current and floated away. If there were other agendas or ulterior motive’s when this video was shot I am sure BK would have wanted to spend alot more time filiming them AND you would have seen the actual extent of the dead fish not just the few you see here. Well Brian took a little video of the fish and shared it here with us all on IDO. Now what some people have done and said is out of BK’s hands. When this video was shot there were absolutely NO ulterior motives other than to find out exactly what kind of fish were laying on the bottom of the river and to ensure that the fish on the bottom were not walleye . I think that sharing the video and educating some people while opening others eye’s was the agenda here, not to try and conquer and take down the commercial fisherman. FACTS its all in the FACTS not the gossip or rumors.
The FACTUAL issue at hand here is not that fact that they killed the fish which we all including the DNR know happens its a factual issue as to how the fish were disposed of, a fact. I’m sure these fish could be used as fertilizer somewhere or catfood. There should be alternative uses for the dead fish not just having them tossed back into the river. THAT IS THE ISSUE AT HAND (MORE FACTS) no agendas here. Tell that to your gossip group.
I think that both common sense and actual knowledge have gone awry in this thread. People if you want the facts on this situation call the DNR and talk to them not Susanna Song from the channel 5. The DNR is well aware of the situation at hand (at least the one I spoke with) and really didnt have any answers as to how the netters are supposed to dispose of the fish they dont use so wit that being said absolutely NO wrong doing was done here. Get the facts then make the goofy, gossipy, silly accusations.
BY THE WAY I am almost certain that the commercial netting of Flats is at the back of BK’s mind as it would be absolute nightmare for them netters to pull the nets through all the trees and snags that those cats slumber up by, just what I’ve noticed from his videos. Thats my honest opinion not actually a fact.
