pike left to die

[pykemike]

i just got some dissapointing news yesterday. a report from banana dykes in gibralter stated that someone was catching pike & leaving them on ice to die and be eaten by the birds! whats up with that these are gamefish gentelman. i was told there were 10 fish on the ice with the biggest bieng 38in. my last trip out there were 3 lg. mouth bass left on the ice the biggest was 5lb. its a shame some people dont know how to act in the outdoors. p-o'ed pike

IT'S A SHAME THAT A FEW SLOBS WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'VE SEEN WHERE THEY THROW SMALL GILLS ON THE ICE LIKE THEY WILL NEVER GROW. BUT TO THROW PIKE AND BASS AND RUIN THE CHANCE FOR MY CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN TO CATCH THEM MAKES ME FURIOUS. I'M GLAD THEY HAVE A POACHING HOTLINE SO I CAN TURN THE SLOBS IN WHEN I SEE THEM. A CARING SPORTSMAN. I HOPE THERE IS MORE OF US OUT THERE TO STOP THESE IDIOTS.

It take a few jerks like that to give sportsmen a bad name. Hope they get caught. To the rest of you good fishing and good eating chad 1

What in the H*!# do these idiots think of when they are doing that ?, like, "hey I just caught this beautiful fish, I know I'm not taking fish home to clean and eat, so, guess I just throw him on the ice to Die !!!" No, you stupid people, release the fish as unharmed as possible back into the water to grow and populate. THINK, use your heads, why kill something just for the heck of it ?, what purpose does that fulfill ? I do not understand this type of person nor will I do nothing about it. I will turn in to authorities any individual I see doing anything like this !!! No doubt, I WILL NOT WATCH our resources treated in this way. Please release all fish back into the water that you do not plan on taking home with you.

AMEN BROTHERS!!!!!
We cannot tolerate senseless killing and abuse of the resource! I have enjoyed contacting law enforcement on a few occasions over the years, and will continue to do so when I see this happen.....I forgot who said it, but one of my favorite sayings is "All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to remain silent"....

I think your preaching to the choir! I can't believe the guy's in this forum would pull something like that!They'd be to eager to brag! You can't wonder what was going through their heads, 'cause it was obviously NOTHING!
How many time this year have you been fishing and heard someones phone start ringing?I bring a phone, a radio,and a pocket protector on every trip out to the ice. Old Boy Scout, could you guess? Just remember, We're not there to enforce the laws,But we can be EYES AND EARS!!
