"Bass, there future in your hands, support catch and release"

Well I think he should have been fined more. Well done to whoever caught
Fisherman's prayer:
God grant that I may live to fish, For another rainy day.
But when my final cast is made, I then most humbly pray.
When nestled in your landing net, As I lay peacefully asleep.
You'll smile at me and judge, That I'm "good enough to keep"!

Presumably the story is in the public domain. If so, no harm in naming the criminal.

Anyone got a link to the story?

people are every bit as bad as the man that is poaching :twisted:
