It's a sad day indeed to see Dave Pliska get crapped on for his opinion.
No wonder all the greats have stopped posting. All this fighting that goes on day in and day out over something as silly as fishing.

Dave, your one of the greatest yakkers I have ever had the privilege to meet.

"All the greats" Thanks I needed a laugh today..

Many greats around which I meet every time I head out and those are the ones who are true ambassadors to the sport.. The ones that are friendly at the beach and offer advise and wisdom.. Jim is one of the best in this sport and an all around great guy..

Not run away when they see others, or hide their catch when coming in.. Heck even a friendly hi goes a long way.. But yeah I forget how great the you and other "greats" are..

Glad to see your still coming back after getting banned so many times... I think your overdue for another ban?

Matt, just because a fish may be legally caught, that does not make it necessarily right. You could legally take well over 600 WSB per year if you gifted them all. Would that be right?

Momo, I have learned, over the years on this site, that teaching guys how to slaughter fish is not doing favors to anybody. Thank goodness that most of them burn out after a few season. But, unfortunately some of the ones that don't become commercial fishermen.

What did I miss, I didn't see anything about anyone slaughtering fish. One fish doesn't make a slaughter

Wow. Nice to see the old guard contribute.

A guy with three legally taken wsb is a slaughter?

This is the problem... not 1 guy that happens to know how to fish.

The issue here is that there is a lot more than meets the eye.
The old adage "you don't know what you don't know" applies here.

I'm sure he is a great guy, no one has said otherwise. To his credit, I've never seen Deamon post "hot bite, going off!" I'm not going to tell anyone how many fish they can catch, but I believe overpopulation has created more take. Dave and many others have changed their views over the years on this subject.
This is my favorite post from this site.

Didn't "piss on" anyone's stoke (I actually gave a on the catch). Never stated anything negative about Jim's character or his contributions to the kayak community.

Heck, I fought long and hard (as did many others) so that everyone could have the opportunity to catch legal limits of trophy WSB in La Jolla. Just posting my opposing opinion that culling may in fact be a better way of showing "respect" than keeping them all. Food for thought.

I guess I just misread what you posted. In my mind you were being demeaning by saying what you did. The problem with posting is you can't read the guys face when he posts it. I'm glad you cleared it up.

What makes a fisherman or a yakker 'great'?

[Heroes On The Water]

WOW.....
When did the sport of kayak fishing become more about not catching fish then catching them?

The Southern California Chapter of HEROES ON THE WATER would like to thank Jim (Deamon) for his continued generosity in donating such a large amount of his catches for our events to feed our volunteers and veterans.

Thanks Jim for your continued support!!!

I was wondering the same thing. I eat fish, I love to eat fish and I like catching my own fish to eat and feed to my family and friends. I think C&R has gotten way out of hand when someone tries to guilt trip someone for keeping legally caught fish.

[Luv2tug]

Im new here but not to fishing and have never heard such whining.
If I understand this right, those who stay home and don't fish are actually better fishermen?
California is weird.

I go out to the events and I know all of my fellow Vets love it when we get to come back up onto the beach to some very fresh fish tacos. There's a lot of mouths to feed at these events.

You'd think the way the Jellys talk on here that one yaker could make these things go extinct. Ive spent many nights on the water last yr and saw one to two kayaks at most. They usually left about an hour after dark as well. I don't think every one on here realizes how many there actually are out there. I never posted up on it bc I enjoyed the night alone, but I got into many schools last yr. some decent fish, some small. There was one night I made eight drops and pulled up eight fish between 24"-34". Another I went out and got into a even bigger school. I've personally seen Jim pull up piggies and send them down. I've seen more WSB caught in the past 6 months than yellow tail ( that's on a personal note).

Come on, don't beat a man up for feeding friends/ Family/ Disabled Vets(a lot of them). Trust me, one yaker and a handful of Comercial guys fishing line and reel are not going to hurt this population. I slated yellows last year as did we all, but I caught even more seabass in a fraction of the time last yr if that tells you anything on how the are doing. I caught them all sizes. The only thing that's probably going to thin these things is out is the "lack of kelp".
