I don't think jealousy has anything to do with it. If you break the law you pay the price. I have no problem with the sale of fish just those that are taking feed bags full and selling them for profit. If you take the market away and there is no profit it slows down the law breakers. It is things llke this that gives the anti's more ammo. If we don't police ourselves the anti's will put us out of business. As far as being upset because I can't catch the same amount of fish yea right.

Anti's Blah Blah Blah ... Same song over and over ....Here is a news flash for you ...... It is there religion, nothing you do is going to make them have a change of heart.

Feed bags full huh ? Really ? ...I would love to see that. Gee maybe we should stop the sale of salt water fish also ..... Dont want to get the Anti's upset with us ...... Oh thats right ...they like sushi.

I tell you what ... You dont tell me what to do with my fish .....I wont tell you to stop whining .....

i don't just believe  storm is right i know he is !

i was fishing the  pond in  fair haven a  few years ago  and  killing the fish this was  pre limit days!  

was some older guys there  so i even took my auger and drilled extra holes and never said a work  that they were hopping in mine , my friend and i  killed the gills and crappies  i offered  some to these  "gentlemen"  who said no....during the day we would hook largemouths  and then release them...  on of these  gentllemen that couldn't catch fish called the  DEC  reported us for keeping bass  and  for  fishing in his holes!......now i offered fish ,cut these guys holes and they still did that..... i was checked,my truck checked ,no bass no tickets,,,jealousy  yes  why  does  anyone  care  what another man does  with his  limit!!!!!  and  why  is a sponcer  of  this site  even being questioned?

Wellsley you're 100% right.  That's all I'll say in appreciation of prchslr's efforts to clean things up!

Thanks jona.
Guys we're all entitled to our opinions. Let's just try to do it without slinging mud at each other on here.
So far, we're cool, but I forsee this thread going down the tubes real quick.
Let's keep it cool fellas. This is well worth discussing.

No doubt the guys whining about selling fish, are the same ones that whine when someone shoots a deer that is further then 20 yards and not perfectly broadside. (Because they don't practice at 50)

And voted for Obama

What is the deal ? It is called debating .... I am getting so tired of all this touchy feely crap ..... So any thread that gets heated you are going to call a time out and ask for a group hug ?

[bluemountainlaker]

easy there guys.  this is suppost to be a discussion not an argument.  lets stop blaming eachother and talk about the topic at hand

[jona]

Don't forget guys this thread's about a shop allegedly illegally buying fish, whether it's buying from a person over their limit or catching out of state or whatever.  Wellsley's argument specifically stated he has no problem with the sale of fish, not what this is about..  Like he said if the guy's buying fish 100% legal let him be.  If he's breaking the law then yes punish him.  Nobody's above the law doesn't matter who you are.

[bluemountainlaker]

good point jona..

[rgfixit]

Well I want pikerel killing yesterday...think I'll try catfishing...I have some trout in the freezer. .

 Man we're turning into a bunch of  reactionaries. This is the same old thread and the same old crazy arguments.
