Winter Fishing... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Josh you truly are my idol. Your C&R of trophy fish is an inspiration to me. I drive a long way to fish La Jolla and It has often payed off well for me over the last 4 years. I don't even eat fish, and tell my self from now on I'll practice C&R On yellow tail(unless its huge!) I read where a yellow tail put on a pound a year, thinking about these beautiful fish being as old as my kids gives me a lot of respect for them. I know it the heat of the min. its easy to land that gaff shot, I am a stone killer with the fish at yak side, but feel much regret with it dying on my deck. Paddling in with that T-shark on my deck made me feel like a heal to say the lest. Karma is a fact of life. lot of people want to know your secret for catching all those fish, I'm letting the cat out of the bag. Karma. C&R what you don't need, and it'll come back to you. Thanks for the inspiration.

I read this article yesterday and after thinking about it for 24 hours, I have come up with this...

Josh needs to be the director of the DFG, at least in Southern California. Think about it, he is on the water all the time and he knows and understands what it takes to reach a maintain a healthy ocean. He practices and shares the best fishing techniques for the health of our oceans. Seriously who needs the BRTF "science" when you have Josh out there monitoring what is going on?

DFG, I hope you are listening. If you want to protect places like La Jolla, have Josh, Paul, Tyler, Billy, etc... make a plan and the rest of us can be wardens. Talk about stewards of the ocean.
