Did I say slide it up on the beach, yup the runners get wet but the fish never leaves the water. Geez Dan you guys sure like to jump to your concludsions dont ya....
Feel free to reread what I said, except this time dont place yourself as the subject of my post, but a generalization towards those who dont wear waders. As you said, your runners get wet, and the fish doesnt leave the water. That right there shows a respect for the fish, which is all I could ever ask for with anglers. Although my post did follow yours, it was not directed towards you specifically. Had it been, I would have quoted, or named you. My point is simply, C&R without due care and attention is worthless, and I dont like seeing it. Thats all.
Actually you're the one jumping to conclusions. Dan did not mention anything about you??
I can see how one could assume I was directing my comments towards them, but it would be assumtions, and I dont call people on stuff with a passive attitude. But, the guy seems to be on the defensive a bit in regards to this whole thread, and some comments, so I cant really hold it against him.
