Glove in the gill plate, no. Near the gill plate, yes. Blood on the glove ? looks like roe to me ?

If I wanted to shut you or anyone else up, I'd just delete the thread.

But I don't have a problem with telling you that your approach is wrong. If there is a problem with a photo that a business has posted, take it to the business. Fred is never on the internet checking for stuff that he is being called out for, so even now he is most likely unaware of your "concerns".

I don't know where that photo is hosted, that's why I asked before. Is it on Facebook, the store's website, Instagram? I have no idea what sitebooster is. If I know, I'd probably call him right now and talk about it. So yeah, I don't see the point of shaming someone who is in the public eye on the internet when there isn't a immediate solution to your problem. Take it to the owner, or are you too proud to do that?

Because Fred and Wayne spend 99% more time on conservation than the average angler does this make them beyond reproach? On the contrary!  If anything they should be held to a higher standard.  Seeing this photo on Freds website shocked the hell out of me especially seeing a bloody glove in the gill plate.
Shaming? You're  damn right! They should be ashamed!
I expected Rodney to chime in as Fred is a major contributor to this site, and yes Rodney i am using your forum to do my leg work for me as you put it.   Such is the nature of social media from which you are making a comfortable living.  Kudos to you Rod for not removing post.
I have seen multiple times in this forum people being shamed for poor etiquette or fish handling.  Yet a photo surfaces where a pillar of the angling community appears to be contradicting the practices he is advocating and people get their panties in a knot.  Sounds like a double standard to me!
And BTW you will never shut me up if i have something to say.
I am chastisded for calling a spade a spade? Shaming on this forum? Heaven forbid.

My thought was that you were chastised for being a whiny little pussy for coming on the forum and accusing someone of bad practices instead of acting like a man and approaching the subject of your attack. Try acting like an adult and go to the source of your complaint instead of hiding behind a keyboard and getting others to do what you don't have the balls to do.
Sorry, I came to my senses and edited my response.

Well that escalated quickly.
