bigredbirdfan Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I guess it depends on how many shore lunches you eat. After the I had a endoscopy (stomach camera) at a cost of $1800, I'm pretty sure they can't afford to check your stomach for possession .

Greg Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Did anyone else catch the article in this month's American Angler about the swiss banning catch and release fishing? I think it was mentioned once before on the forum but this article really goes into it in depth. Regardless of whether or not you practice catch and release - to ban it is the craziest thing I've ever heard. That just makes a limited resource even more scarce........ From what the article said PETA is the force behind the ban. Which seems kind of backward but their motivation is evidently to eventually ban all sportfishing. The article also stated they (PETA) are more powerful in Europe than here in the States.

bigredbirdfan Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I think what really happend was first no keeping of fish and then no fishing at all So beware if we go down the path of Socialist Europe and you want government to do everything for you get ready to give up you freedom and liberty like fishing, hunting and gun ownership. Seems there is a guy running for office that is making a lot of promises. I'm going to keep my eyes on him. Yea the one who said we are bitterly clinging to our guns and religion. You bet he's taking some PETA money for his election.
