Embarassing

[baptiste_moose]

In regards to the Cold Lake thread. I just took the hour to read it and what a joke. Many of you should be emberrased. This fishing section is a joke like many have stated. I have seen it 1st hand now. I'm ashamed to call myself an "Alberta Outdoorsman" today. I have 400 posts and I bet 300 of them are " nice fish", " congrats" , " good for you" and " beauty.". Some of you should try it once in awhile. Notice how you almost never see long standing members in the fishing discussion. Just emberassing!!!!!!

Not sure of the point of your post? I enjoy seeing the pictures that are posted....are you "Embarrassed" that people comment on the pics?

Its cause most of the comments were from self righteous *****s that spend their time being an arm Chair biologist instead of fishing. That is why he is embarrassed and it's true if someone catches a nice fish and want to keep that's awesome beautiful memories right there last time I checked this is a free country so that is why people are ashamed cause there are just to many egotistical *****s that have nothing better to do then complain if you don't believe me read the posts.

Yes last time I checked this is a free country so that's why people post there own opinions on a matter. I don't think they are arm chair biologists they have just seen good lakes year after year be depleted and that is there biggest concern and then speak there mind about it. Sometimes it comes out in rude manner but I think out of all the posts only a couple were actually rude. Just remember it is a free country so people are going to speak there minds.

I don't think this is fair. My regular hunting buddy is a Polish immigrant. He learned English after coming to Canada about twenty years ago. He speaks the language well and has a good vocabulary. He, however, does not write English well. I would hate to think that if he posted on this site he would be criticized for his spelling and/or grammer. Also, many of the members on this site have been a long time out of school and in jobs that do not require them to use writing skills. Surely, guys like that should be able to have their say on here without worrying whether they are going to be attacked because of their spelling.

[Double-Eh]

I don't quite follow..... Are you looking for people to be more complimentary to one another? Less about fish biology, more about fish tips and sharing?

I know I joined because I want to learn more about every type of fish in Alberta and how to catch them. I provide insight when I have it, though it isn't often.

I get that you want to give everyone a thumbs up on their fish, and that really is great. But this cannot simply be about your desire to see nothing but threads about posting a fish picture and awaiting kudos. There's a thread specifically for that.

I'm no old hand here, obviously, but if you are going to complain I believe you should clearly outline what is wrong, what is right, and how to shift the power back to where you want it.

Just because you can spell better does not make everything your say or think better. Well put waterhawk. I'm proud of my English and I owe it to my immigrant parents (who cannot spell well) for putting me through school, not because I'm an inherently better person than them.

[waterninja]

whats the big deal? i also thought some of the posts were pointless or off base but at the same time some were thought provoking. i esp. wonder about the effects on a fish when it is caught 100 feet deep, brought to the surface then released. can't help but think that it must really harm the fish no matter how quickly or gently you put it back.

like all threads you have to seperate the wheat from the chaff and not everyone agrees about anything, but they have a right to express their opinion.

[MoFugger21]

While I agree that some of the "educational" posts were ridiculous in that cold lake thread....

If you want to get cut down or crapped on this is the site to come to for fishing and hunting pretty pathetic thats why i don't post anymore

[Richmuiz]

you should rename the thread cold lake part 2

[baptiste_moose]

I am Emberassed also that I don't know how to spell embarrassed. I can always really on everyone on AO to set me straight. hahaha. No better way to have proven my point. You guys rule!!:sHa_shakeshout:

[ak-71]

Actually, I didn't like the original post, but I have to agree about selfrighteous *****s part. (how ever it is spelt in English). It's free country, so:
I think it should be prohibited to bash people for legal actions, unless you are qualified - then you take actions to change the regulations. And working in somewhat related field or taking some classes long time ago doesn't count. And BS about "ethical" part is just that - BS.

[BeeGuy]

It's a gong show both ways.

[Guitarplayingfish]

After all, this is a forum... People are free to speak their minds here.

However, I do see a lot of criticizing and bashing these days. Some deserved, some not.

Welcome to the forum... :fighting0074:

[Pixel Shooter]

I think what is trying to be said is if people are posting photo's, feel free to comment away, it is always nice to share our passions with others who have the same interest, ie fellow fishermen. BUT if someone decides to derail by suggesting their personal preferences, ethics or start quoting regulations when in fact it was not requested or had absolutely nothing to do with the Ops original thread, refrain.

If someone feels the need or wishes to discuss those topics, create your own thread and have at it within forum rules, not in someone elses thread unsolicited.

Absolutely.

On other forums derailment like that would be managed by the moderators.

Discussions regarding fisheries management, ethics, and how I am a fishing purist after someone had posted a photo would be found to be off topic. Posts would be deleted and replaced by a mod stating, "stay on topic, if you want to discuss your personal views start another thread".

X2 exactly what I was trying to say in the cold lake thread. I have no problem with people expressing their opinions just do it on the right thread or create your own.

[Mike_W]

First off get some thicker skin...if you can't handle an internet forum then the world will chew you up.

The post in question was a joke from the beginning it wasnt the fisherman who caught the fish that asked for the picture to be posted.

The post was without depth and just said 32lb fish taken from cold lake on such and such a day.

So to say this thread even got derailed is a little far fetched because it was pointless from the start ....given that and with all the current concern with cold lake it was silly to post a fish of that size dead in someones kitchen again without any content.

Many things were discussed and I don't think the fisherman was ever attaked but in gereral some concerns were brought up about the lame state of our SRD managing our fisheries.
No one ever said he did anything illegal and many said it was a great fish.

The thread got "derailed" because the OP wasnt the fisherman nor was he there nor did he know much about the situation....I don't even know that he knew the fisherman in the picture.

This world is full of views and opinions if you don't wan't to hear them of be part of them maybe a public forum aint the place for you.

He posted a pic to brag about the size of a fish, what's so wrong with that. But for some reason it turned into a whole lot more than nice fish bud congrats.he wasn't posting so he could here all about people's opinions on how cold lake should be run,just an innocent look at my fish.

You make the statement "please show me where this guy was insulted" so I ask you,in my statement or nikons statement where did we say he was insulted. I can't find it we simply stated he posted a pic and it turned into conservation of cold lake. I don't mean to answer for you Nikon but I don't understand this. The thread title was not how to mange and cold lake. It was JUST a picture of a guy with a fish he is very proud of.:snapoutofit:

[Chris84]

I just felt bad for the OP in the cold lake thread, he was showing off something he was oviously proud of, a fish that was LEGAL to harvest. Later in the thread, the OP said he would not post another picture on here. I can only speak for myself, but I quite enjoy seeing pictures on here and do not like to discourage people from posting pictures. If I believe that the fish should have gone back, good for me, but I don't need to force my beliefs on anyone else, especially if it is legal.

Alberta Bigbore: I do not understand why you would post this. The OP may not be the best speller. I believe that Baptiste Moose intentionally substituted "really" for "rely" to make some fun. It really does not matter. I think there should be no tolerance for members who criticize a post because of grammer and spelling. We have members that have a wealth of information about hunting, fishing and trapping but their writing ability may not be the best. I don't care how they put it down. I want the benefit of their wisdom and knowledge. If this school teacher type nonsence keeps up, you can bet many of those guys will be shy to contribute.

Ya we know each other and we're just having some fun. And I did not mis-spell on purpose. It's tricky with auto-correct. Some good points brought up guys.

The original thread stated that the fish was basically dead on the ice, throwing up all its contents, your right he probably should have released it and let it die under the ice, come on, at least this way there was some value to the fish. Not sure why releasing a near dead fish is a solution to the problem at cold lake, by your own words maybe nobody should fish there because heaven forbid if you catch a large fish that is dieing from being pulled up to fast in deep water you are harming the lake. I guess your solution would be NO FISHING ANYWHERE them those big old fish will be safe.

You sir are quite a specimen one of those country guys that thinks that if you live close to the lake you have more rights and the ability to give someone the gears cause they catch and keep a big fish. I hope that lake gets fished out and then dries up so you can keep all the dust to yourself. Instead of being an arm chair biologist tie yourself to a tree and quit posting your non sense.

That would just be wrong, killing a mature breeding bull ?....or is he after a cow that may have spawned twins possibly..... even though they have offered tags on a draw i hope he ate his and saved another moose or maybe 2 or 3.....

What I don't get is how people that have never fished the lake can sit back an cry about killing it. In my opinion cold lake is better for trout now than ever.
It used to be netted for white fish and seasons closed because of too many trout being netted. Now it's traps instead of nets and I have noticed a huge difference in the amount of trout I catch. At least in the summer I can catch them winter I still struggle lol. Some of the ones making the most stink about keeping fish are guilty themselves.

What's wrong with keeping fish anyway??...luv eatin em ever since I was a lil gaffer and will continue to do so. Harvest is goooooood

The only problem I got with keeping one is when I can't catch them.
I'm not big on catch an release. I like to catch my meal then quit fishing but that's just my way. I'm not going to harp on the guys catching and throwing back all day either. I respect their style and they should respect mine as both are legal.

Agreed, and i am sure occasionaly you catch a large fish of whatever species you are fishing for, keeping fish never hurt nobody.

Ok first a few things .... The OP or pic poster is NOT the fisherman .... Clear?

Second much more was discussed than just cold lake it was the overall poor state of our fishery.
It's not about keeping fish or shooting a big game animal (which is just a silly comparison) it's about what fish are kept .... Crap happens fish big and small die from a fight. Whatever circumstance are around the fish in the picture doesn't matter. In general Alberta has minimum size limits on many lake that force anglers if they want a fish for the table to take a larger breeding fish, it seems backwards.

Lets face Walleyes and I haven't always seen eye to eye but many comments made to him are childish and rude.

How some class guys try and have an educated discussion.
I'm sure we all agree that the other thread got derailed and I had my part in that ..... It happened now its done.

[crownb]

Well now here yah go.. You can't talk about conservation on a pic post,, can't talk about it on a post about posting about conservation..

Boy I really got to go read the guide lines on Internet forum use,, wouldn't want to voice an opinion that goes against the grain..

Carry on kids,, kill away..

Just faded old pictures,,, just faded old pictures..

Kill away, now you are turning a debate into i am losing so now I will lash out and get ignorant, the fish was dieing and he was well within his rights to keep it, just as you are well within your rights to release it. No need to call people who keep fish killers, we are just outdoorsman enjoying the outdoors and having a good feeding now and then. I do like the comments on your avatar though, surely you are calling and watching not shooting RIGHT.

Dear mods,

This is getting a little old guys.

If you ask me what think , I .........sorry my mom says I have too get

Off the computer now.......:tongue2:

[stickfloat]

I can somewhat understand your stance on the preservation of the state of
the Cold Lake fishery, as well as your opinionated views of how "outsiders" are to blame for the demise of others in your neck of the woods(the Waiu thread)
You tend to preach all this BS about how everybody is the cause for certain fisheries' collapse and that how protecting the future of the fishery is of primary
concern, blah, blah....

I ask then if you are so against keeping a perfectly legal fish, or fishing in "your" area....why do you "proudly" show otherwise in the PICTURES thread that you caught in somebody elses back yard.......l don't believe we here in central/northern Alberta are blessed with salmon, halibut, or cod. you appear to be very pleased with your catch...By the way the minimum size for the salmon would have been considerably smaller than the one you proudly display.
Why wasn't a prime spawner released and you keep smaller fish.

Isn't this hypocrisy ????? Or are we just enjoying what we are legally entitled to????

Great point, well said

[KegRiver]

Since it seems that some of you, well one of you, haven't read the rules Rob set out, or have forgotten them and it seems that you are reading this thread, read this.

To quote Rob Miskosky.
Please use common courtesy and respect to other message board users.


You do know who Rob Miskosky is don't you?

Prejudging what someone might do is total disrespect towards that person and towards all members of this site and towards Rob himself. It's his site and his rules. Likewise with putting words in other peoples mouths.

By ignoring HIS Rules you are saying that you are better then he is and/or have more rights on this site then he does.

It seems that some folks have gotten the idea that we moderators make up the rules on the fly. That we are on some sort of personal mission.

If you were to read the rules, you might discover that we are trying to carry out Rob's wishes for this site.

Yes that's right, it's Rob who made the rules and Rob who set up this site for your enjoyment, and you abuse it.


It really is embarrassing, and I feel bad for him. Seeing His generosity so disrespected.

[Pixel Shooter]

Great question :thinking-006: Having said that, what is being discussed is much of what the intial thread was attesting too, so get it out of your system , not a free for all, respectful and within forum rules.

For new threads, I have made myself clear, so feel free to take me for a test drive, but i wont be buying and a few may decide to vacation for a while. Be forewarned, this isnt lip service. We are all for great discussion, differing of opinions and thoughts in respectful ways and talk about issues that threaten our fishery and most importantly sharing in our passions of fishing BUT do it respectfully, in the right threads, no more derailing......

Look forward to reading all posts here in the fishing forum and making this a better fishing forum in 2013

p.s using profanity or asterisks or particial cursing is considered inappropriate, one does not need to do this to articulate their views or opinion

Dear mods,

Why does this continue?

[Alberta Bigbore]

Alberta Bigbore: I do not understand why you would post this. The OP may not be the best speller. I believe that Baptiste Moose intentionally substituted "really" for "rely" to make some fun. It really does not matter. I think there should be no tolerance for members who criticize a post because of grammer and spelling. We have members that have a wealth of information about hunting, fishing and trapping but their writing ability may not be the best. I don't care how they put it down. I want the benefit of their wisdom and knowledge. If this school teacher type nonsence keeps up, you can bet many of those guys will be shy to contribute.

You need to give it a rest.. its just a joke between people who knwo each other.

But yes... Im always on AO grammar police butts... the see you on friday should have been your first clue:):)

[pickrel pat]

Lol,, this place is a blast,, way to easy..

And you started out so well after your return....... Sigh.

[Alberta Bigbore]

^^^in regards to my last post



X 100, no need for bs responses from those who think they are better than someone else.
PG

Same goes for you....:)


But anyways.. this thread is beyond saving. Nice to see everyone get along.
