Catch & Release

Did you happen to watch Dubya on the Roland Martin show ?

Seems our Chief Executive catches bass and then lets his
dog chew them to death instead of releasing them.

If you didn't catch it the first time, it will air again
on the Outdoor Life Network. Go here and follow the links
for air times, the episode is called "The Executive Pond."

Seems you're a couple days late on the airtime Ken, it ran 2x on the 6th.
So, tell us about it...

....and eats them? If the dog eats them, I feel sorry for the dog. I can see
this creating potential health threats. On the other hand, as long as the
fish gets eaten when not thrown back I don't see a problem with not
releasing the fish.

If a person eats it for food or it's a dog that eats it, it's still being
eaten. Being eaten, for the most part, has always been an acceptable reason
for not releasing fish. In _many_ cases, releasing all caught fish actually
does more harm then good.

There's got to be some metaphor for trickle down economics in here
someplace, but damned if I can't phrase it right? Little help?

So what, looks like a smart thing to so

It's his pond, it's over stocked with bass, and everyone knows you take
out the little bass caught on a small pond,, I know many pond owners
that just throw them up on the bank, and tell you to do the same thing
when you fish their ponds . The state fish biologist tell them to do this.

You can't C&R every bass in a pound,, you will have nothing but dinks in it

Problem was, it was a dink. An undersized bass. Is our President above the
law?

The problem is

You don't understand fish & game laws

If I owned a pond,, I can catch and cook/throw away, 200 bass out of
that pond in a single day, and have broken no laws. I could even drain
that pond killing every fish in it, and have broken no laws.

Farm ponds and lakes are not under limit laws of the states

Limit laws are for the maintaining of species in "public" waters

WHat part of

" This lake is on my ranch"

"I Built this lake 4 years ago "

"I stocked this lake"

"the fish biologist that checks this lake twice a year tells us to
remove all undersize bass"

Did you not understand

In Michigan, my pond or my lake means I own the hole, but once water enters
that hole, the state of Michigan has regulation over the water and the
wildlife that is in it or on it. I can maintain it (meaning I can stock it
how I please), but if the state HAS any knowledge of that pond, limit laws
can be enforced and it can never be drained without DEQ's permission - under
the laws that govern wetlands.

I believe the same thing applies to farmlands and hunting. So if I own 500
acres... can I legally harvest deer from there 365 days a year? Nope!
