just seen the videos of this on youtube. well done on the conger but was there any need for your mate to be bounching mackerel of the ground like that, i thought it was disgusting to be honest, there is a lot of kids that fish carrick and growen men should be showing an example. all fish should be treated with respect and killed in a humane way if they are to be taken home.

mackerel are just a bait fish out in boats there just threw into a fish box? are you saying the fish arnt killed instantly and therefore suffer theres defently not a problem here and you go on about youth is that the youth that catch them in the harbour cut there tails off with a stanly knife and throw them back in alive for fun :x :x :x

I HAVE SEEN WEE LADS POKING EYES, OUT CUTTING TAILS OFF FISH,BUT IF THEY SEE GROWEN MEN BOUNCHING FISH OF GROUND LIKE THAT THEY PROBALY THINK ITS OK TO DO SO. I KNOW MACKEREL ARE BAITFISH BUT FOR A RESPECTED ANGLER SUCH AS YOUSELF I THINK YOU COULD BE SETTING A BETTER EXAMPLE. HOW MANY REPORTS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ON THESE FORUMS ABOUT MUPPETS TURNING UP AND CAUSING FISH UNESSCARY HARM. I HAD AN EXAMPLE LAST YEAR WHILST OUT WITH AL AND JORDAN A WHOLE CAR FULL OF FELLAS TURNED UP TO WATERFOOT PIER AND WERE KILLING EVERYTHING. IN THIS CASE THERE THREE GENERATIONS OF IDIOTS A GRANFATHER,FATHER AND SON. I THINK IF THE GRANFATHER MAYBE WOULD OF SHOWEN A BETTER EXAMPLE THEN MAYBE THE NEXT TWO GENERATIONS WOULD OF HAD A BIT MORE RESPECT TO TREAT FISH PRORPERLY AND HUMANELY. IT MIGHT BE JUST MY OPINION BUT I FEEL QUITE STRONGLEY ABOUT ISSUE. DAN

so what do you think about mackerel that are caught in the boats and are just thru into fish boxes alive i may add :lol: the mackerel i catch are dispatched straight away and do not suffer any more than any method you would use to disbatch mackerel :lol:

A picture speaks a thousand words. In my opinion people who treat fish in that manner tend to have a similar approach to most things in life. Respect is sadly lacking on so many levels. Why would he then go and post the bloody thing on you tube? :roll:
List 2010. fish

List 2011: less fish

2012: less fish again,

2013: even less fish.
