Ok I know this has been discussed and beaten to death in other places, But I just don't get it.
I read pickleboys thread on SARL and the "Trophy" fish being planted... then I read this in the story;
More big fish will be stocked for these four days than any time this year. This is your chance to get one to hang on the wall. We have ordered the biggest fish Mt. Lassen Trout Farm has and there is a good chance a new state record could be broken at either Santa Ana River Lakes or Corona Lake.
Sorry a caller got in the way of my rant.....
Ok to me this is Bullshit... your telling me that fish grown to 27-28#'s in Lassen and trucked down to a mudhole in the OC to be caught by some trailor trash Yahoo with a chunk of playdoh on a zebco barbie rod.. can claim a state record???
What if I caught a schoolie Yellow Fin Tuna then put it in a pen lets say off the Nados cause I won the lottery and could afford it.. had my fishy fed daily for a couple years.. waited til it was nice and fat.. 400#'s then thru a Dine in there and landed it.. I could claim the first 400# Yellow Fin Tuna....
Fuck no would be the answer ....
so why do these pathetic chainsmokers get to ???
I guess I shouldn't piss on their trophys.. ............. Nah.. It still seems like BS to me.
Ok could one of you mudhole monsters clue me in on this!
Yeah Stan it cracks me up as well. I don't understand why a FISHERMAN would sit there and wait for them to put the fishies in the pond in the first place. I mean they can't fucking go too far, so it takes a little knowledge to find and catch the little critteres. Stock the lake, I'll wait right by the place your dropping them and I will catch a state fucking record, but if I don't I will say that it is all bullshit...LMFAO..
