Saw something nasty today...

elder son steps in to help unhook the beast, so younger lad *drops* the pike
onto the decking. Elder lad tentatively looks towards the mouth end and
then shoves his foot on its head. Pike is now flapping so father kicks it,
and then proceeds to stand on the tail end. In the end they're all standing
on a bit of it, and after lots of cursing, and blood (fish's) manage to get
hook out of poor thing's chops....at which point the father kicks the pike
off the deck...

I was so disgusted I got back in the car and drove home again ;o((

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...



a Pretend to be the bailiff and ask to see rod licenses etc., if they
have them record details and report the *******s !

b Kick Daddy to see how he likes it then throw him and the rest of the
fishing gear in the lake :-)

c At the first instance of anything like this step in and offer
assistance, if they take it fine if not resort to points A or B.
(preferably both)

Unfortunately this just shows there are still plenty of ignorant people
out there, acting like this they should not be any where near anything
to do with fishing of any sort.

Educate them (if that don't work then annihilate them)
