What an articulate argument Stan!

If you continue to think with a closed mind, you will not learn a thing. Instead you are here, defending yourself on a pro C&R site. Judging by your last post, you are going to find it extremely difficult to come up with a valid explanation as to why you needed to kill that fish. There is an upside to all this. Although you may lack an education in WA steelhead, you still have your sense of humor!

I consider myself to be open minded Stan. Feel free to explain and provide anecdotal evidence to support your theory on killing wild steelhead, and not affecting the population. Im not above hearing your side, but Im not buying the square hooks, and carrot theory.

I would suggest looking for a pat on the back elsewhere, Im sure you know where we stand by now. There are other sites that also share your views, and I implore you to seek shelter there.
