Saw something nasty today...
Surely this isn't the way pike are treated in the main, is it? My brother
and OH are specimen hunters and treat their fish with the utmost
respect...

Would appreciate your thoughts...

Most anglers that fish for pike would certainly not treat it like this.
These morons were obviously scared of the fish thinking it would bite them
or something. The fact that they could treat any fish in this manner leads
me to believe they should not be fishing at all.
Unfortunately they do exist and can only give fishing a bad name and the
anti-fishing lobby more ammunition.
