Hey coffeegrinder...I totally see your point of view. Sometimes you can look at a guys fishing method and tell they are actively trying to floss or snag fish. Only difference is I will follow that guy down river and "help" him beach his fish or make sure it gets release...not heavy handed or anything...something like "oh too bad man, that ones hooked in the belly, let me help ya pop it off".
If you care enough to share that experience with us, care enough to follow thru too.
And to Sassyboy, Coffe isnt being negative, he is just sharing an experience he had.
Don't ask me why, but I get bent out of shape when people start snagging fish and poaching...they negatively impact my fishing experience that day. I sympothise with what Coffee said because sometimes you can just tell a guy is snagging and then he hooks a fish and walks it down stream for little reason (other than to get outta eyesight)!
