Champ188 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I've even seen some of these guys, after dropping their fish on the rocks, literally kick them out toward the deeper water with their dang boots rather than be bothered to bend over and use their hands to help the bass get started the right direction. Just burns me up to see this. We all spend thousands upon thousands to chase these little green fish around this big ol' pond and then kick them around like a stray dog when we manage to catch a few. Unacceptable. If you don't have any respect for the fish themselves, at least have some respect for the rest of us who are trying to catch a few. They are our property, too, bought and paid for with taxes and license fees.

If we truly respected them then removing and relocating them to some boat ramp miles from the area they have chosen to live would be way less popular. For some, loving the sport of finding and catching them just isn't enough. Not that I have any right to condemn that, because I did it myself for 24 years and still miss it from time to time. But still.... The process of detaining and weighing them seems less "respectful" than pushing them towards deeper water with the toe of a shoe.....Unless you call that "kicking", in which case it sounds much more mean and cruel. LOL Did you "pet" the dog, or did you "slap" him on his head?
Sore Thumbs Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Don't mind me. I was being a smartass. I've done it too.
