My first steelhead. Note the big ol' adipose!
I had caught a fish on the Stilly during the summer that was a rainbow trout that had gone to the ocean. However, since it was raised in a pen it did not count. Hatchery fish just don't count! It's a fact. I know because a forum member who knows more about facts than I do, told me so.

I do feel like we lost an important piece of forum lore, so I do vote for us moving the goal posts.

Ok @DanielOcean - go swing up a wild fish and report back.

I guess you can do this when you own the goal posts?

I own the goal posts and the truck they're being hauled on.

Do hatchery fish count?

Yes, but not as much.

 

[charles sullivan]

Yes, but not as much.

1 hatch = .4 steelhead? is that about right?

 

[O' Clarkii Lewisi]

Hatchery fish totally count. Fishing for wild fish deliberately is unethical.

Unless you’ve got the right last name that is.

Come on guys. Let's get this thread back on track. This thread should be about lowering DO's self esteem. It's tradition at this point.

Hasn't he suffered enough?

 

[Matt B]

This is like our very own Book of Job, except it's the Book of D.O. We're already at the part where God/Evan B is giving speeches though, so I think we are getting close to the end.

I knew the native vs hatchery thing was going to come up. You guys can suck it.

You just have adipose envy

Did you eat it? That alone is a complex question. Certain tribes believe the first fish of the run is to be released as to be grateful. To eat it is to be cursed.

Certain tribes yes. But, I am from a tribe that believes if the fish does not hold still for a goddamn picture it gets bonked.
