"Woo, tachie. Oh well what can I expect? Some hotties just love to be a monkey on the back."
I am not generally a sniper on these boards but this one just rubbed me wrong!
I would challenge you to a fish ID challenge but that would make me look even sillier right? (plus I am not sure if such a thing is possible)
That is a nice chum I have only landed one like that in the vedder in many years, and have never seen meat that red on any chum (could just be how the photo looks).
Sorry if I offended you, but I am sure you were trolling for responses like mine anyway so you should thank me instead of calling me a monkey on your back!
Nice doggy regardless!
Edit: Rod yes I am done with this topic but I will reply to other points you have mentioned in this edit
Stewardship is one of the great things about sport fishing it is a natural progression that once you learn to love fish you will want to help them out, I have been highly involved in stewardship since I was in junior high many years ago the love of fishing lead me along this path.
weekend plans include a closing day trip to a little river near Hope to try to find some summers and maybe a trip to the T or brood stock fishing on the rivers of north van should be a good one I love the sound of the rain right now!
Good luck to all this weekend!
