Eating Perch...or any other prized species.

[captain cojones]

i myself prefer the smaller sized fish, a pike of 1.5 kg/ zander of 1kg/perch of 300 grm that sort of size.IF i decided to eat one.

Ive had a really good idea, Ive printed all these posts on eating course fish and sent them to the Anglers Mail and the Angling Times, I think it would be interesting to offer the descussion across the country.

i take it you contacted all of the posters on here to ask their permission to use their copywritten material?

(see recent thread on non fishing chat regarding use of material posted on these forums)

Are we supposed to perceive that as some kind of threat to name and shame us Sam?

 

I think the worst you can expect to happen is a backlash from your English teacher if he/she's looking in.

unukwolf, you have nothing to apologise for, you did nothing illegal. I for one am glad this thread was started, and allowed to run, it shows that a topic can be discussed, without resorting to personal abuse.

 

Or have I spoke too soon?

While you're at it, why don't you add your comments from the thread on the sea forum about maiming live fish to enhance their attractiveness as livebait?

 

Here we go, save you printing it separately:

 

You said:

I will be hooking my live baits through the back of the head, inbetween the eyes with the point towards the tail.

 

Monkeymafia replied:

i dont know how relevant it is but when livebaiting for tarpon, cobia and anything else predatory i have always put the hook through the back just behind the dorsal fin.

 

Also, this is pretty savage but it works wonders, take a pair of scissors and snip off 1 pectoral fin, the fish can pick up the distress miles off it seem. Doesnt stop you feeling like a right bastard though.

 

To which you replied:

 

Why feel bad its not as though you cut a little kiddies fingers off, if it makes you feel better do as I do, every time you lower your live bait into the water say a little prayer!

 

Personally I think I'll look elsewhere for guidance on ethical fishing practices.

dont forget everybody..... its ok to do that, but not ok to take a fish to eat.......

[sam-cox]

The only way I mame my live baits is with the hook, I havnt yet tried cuting fins or tails of.

 

Im now going to just watch this thread as Ive said my bit and you guys who eat course fish have said yours. We are never going to agree on this one.

[Andy Macfarlane]

So as to remind ourselves all those pages ago!! Andy you said this

 

Seems to me you got the taste for a Mc Perch so your mind was already made up on the issue.

 

And then you wanted to fight anyone who disagreed with you

 

Why wasn't this thread nipped in the bud at the start?.

 

Top topic hope it runs and runs

 

I simply stated that I "sometimes eat the odd Perch". That doesn't mean that I have, in your words,

"the taste for a McPerch". That insinuates that I make a habit of eating McPerch. I don't make a habit of eating fish, never mind McPerch.

You can do your best, to goad me into retorting with an equally pathetic poke at your nationality but I've already made my opinion on such nonsense, perfectly clear. Everyone on the forum, myself and Bob included, understood that had it continued, the thread would have ended up locked, with no discussion at all. Carry on at will but I won't be responsible for closing the thread.

Explain how my mind was made up on the issue? If my opinion on the matter was set in stone, I wouldn't have asked,

"Would someone care to explain to me, what the problem is?".

I was more than open to suggestion and I'd have been willing to stop eating the odd McPerch, had anyone put forward a strong enough argument to do so. In fact, there's always the potential for that to happen yet.

What is this nonsense about me wanting to fight anyone who disagreed with me? I had a 5 post, off-topic argument with Bob, which was resolved, without any fighting whatsoever and that was my last post, until the 14th page. The next disagreement I had, was with you, on the 15th page. In fact, I've made 12 posts, including this one. I'm hardly the pugilist you claim I am.

Bizarrely, you ask why the thread wasn't nipped in the bud and then you answer your own question by stating that this was a "Top topic". If you don't know what you mean, how can anyone else??

SAM!! I will wager a pond to a pinch of sh1t that NO-ONE ever totally agrees on anything to do with FISHING on here or anywhere else!! THAT is what makes life worth living!!

That would be very immature Sam, this has been a good debate, held in a mostly reasonable & mature manner. It would be a shame to resort to such a tactic.
