We all know the rules (or at least we should all know 'em), so does Josh. We can all judge for ourselves, so can Josh. No need for mob lynching. I believe Josh sincerely cares about our fishery. I know in fact that he released more big game LJ fish over the years than a good number of us caught to begin with. But when he says "thousands of WSB", I call BS! |

STOP YOUR WHINNING!!!! or the very few seasoned, fortunate anglers who spend most of their time fishing and still post WILL stop posting, or better yet start posting false reports and bogus techniques....ooohhh and if you don't know how he was catchng them why don't you paddle over to him and ask??? (although if you fish regularly he has given more than enough hints to figure it out) GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!

If this was anyone but Josh it wouldn't of made it a page and a half. Jealousy is a bitch. Like someone said earlier. Some sit appreciative of the catch, while others criticize because they themselves can't to it to the degree of the guy on the stage. I don't know Josh on a personal level nor do I have anything to gain by taking his side. I just think this is all a bit ridiculous.

chicken
Chicken Dinner wouldn't it been a better idea to pm Josh about your thoughts than to behave like a envious person or did you think it was time to come out the closet and post?

I'm trying to figure this out, I can have 5 bass in the live well and keep fishing over my take limit, as long as i don't keep more than five. I understand BSB are protected and can't be pulled out of the water, but were does it say we can't pull a WSB out for a picture, let alone catch more than one at time if we only keep one.
It is truly sad, that the post by chicken was gone before i even had a chance to finish my reply. And i hope no one else took the poaching claim as legit, otherwise every pro bass fisherman should be in jail. Dave Ischy PS, Nice fish Josh, looking forward for another chance to head out for Tuna on the yak this year, really upset i missed last year. |

Hilarious Thread! How can anyone judge ethics by reading a thread. Question: If you have 2 lines out and you double hook up on WSB and you land both of them and release one, is that illeagle? That fish is doing great, I'm sure. I've seen a dozen of pictures of some nice Sheepshead that were pulled out of the water and then released when they were closed and no one hassled those people. I've known people in the past that would have gaffed that fish because they didn't know the retention.
I agree with a post earlier in this thread. Spend your energy trying to keep our fishery open. Tight Lines to all! Moyer |

To me this thread is'nt about Josh at all, except that he caught some awesome wsb recently, which to me is outstanding!The reason being is that he does'nt play armchair quarterback like some and gets out there and fishes. Basically this thread went to "when is an over the limit fish over the limit", that is at what point should an over the limit fish be released before it becomes a violation? To me this is not "ridiculous" but rather an effort on my part to understand. And also so that maybe others in a similar situation will know when and how to release. |

Agree,

Iceman posted the "proper form" for release but noticed he has WSB on deck already and one on the line. Was he in violation? (I guess the Iceman pulled his post???) This is a great site for info on gear, technique and tackle. There are allot of really cool folks on here that have been very, very helpful especially Josh. I hope it stays that way and doesn’t turn into BloodyDecks 2.0 where you have to sift through pages of insults and shit talking to glean info. I hope it stays humble...... I hope to have the high class problem of catching two WSBS in one day and wondering what the hell to do! best, Josh Last edited by j mo; 03-26-2009 at 10:43 AM. |

I've learned from this discussion and will be careful about certain situations in the future. I've found this thread to be very valuable for raising visibility on how to follow the rules. I had never thought through some of these situations and could have easily erred on the water. Peace everyone.

(Careful, the CHP reads these boards looking for speeders.) : )
Fishionado, I didn't learn anything here except that when people misuse the term "violation" and "poaching" and they are simply being inflamatory, their posts get removed. Thanks BWE for monitoring and keeping this a worthwhile message board. gcsasher, the difference is that both lobster examples happen to be law violations. This isn't that .. or, maybe somene can help me. D50, "Once you handle an over the limit fish you are technically in violation(at least my common sense tells me that)." I want to understand this "law" that says you have to stop fishing completely when you have a limit of some arbitrary species, and/or the law where it says you cannot lift a fish out of the water before releasing. I have been fishing for 40 years and have never heard of such a thing from any reliable source. Please, please PM me if you have a solid, qualified answer. I posted the text of the DFG's "Take" law above and it's ridiculously vague, so some clarity from an attorney would be refreshing. Last edited by blackcloud9; 03-26-2009 at 11:58 AM. |

What I have learned from this thread
If you contribute to this thread:
I will never get as good as all of you, and that’s OK… because I get more out of this than I could have ever imagined.
