timmy Posts: 1960 June 4, 2010 at 6:22 pm #877392 Nope, no one is being thrown under any bus. But it is to the point where anybody that keeps a nice fish of any species generally gets painted in a bad light……. I say congrats to the young men – and I hope they get a LOT of good mileage out of their fishing tale. Tim

No laws broken and good for them, they’ll remember that fish for a long time…even more so with the publicity around it. I guess I was thinking about the fun others could have catching it. I’m certainly not against catching and keeping fish. Although large fish being kept always gives me a little tweak in my stomach. Believe it or not even large walleyes.
