Re: Opinions on Snake Heads
Quote:
Assuming the snakehead survives release, me catching it and returning it to the water is simply maintaining the status quo of the environment as I found it. You really think the state has the right to compel me to kill...anything? Has there been any cases of this law being applied to anyone? Anyone get a ticket for releasing snakeheads into the same water body it was caught? |

Re: Opinions on Snake Heads
I have no opinion. If i catch one I'd probably take a picture, throw it back and keep fishing. Pretty much what I do with everything i catch in freshwater. If i knew someone who wanted to eat it, mount it, bury it in their garden or whatever else....In the cooler it goes.
If someone else wants to to slit its throat and throw it in the bushes, I'll hand em the knife.

Fishing without a license, bag and size limits, closed seasons and litterbugs is what laws I would like to see enforced. F&G takes like 3 years to change or establish a "new" law. Steeped in tradition uneffected by progress or technolgy. Snakeheads and flatheads are here to stay regardless of the law.

Re: Opinions on Snake Heads
Just one question. If you disregard this law, where do you draw the line on following other laws? Just wondering...Charlie

Re: Opinions on Snake Heads
you could get an entire group of guys to devote their entire fishing season to catching and killing them, still not going to stop them from existing. They make a great game fish, the state should just accept it....that being said i don't have time to deal with the state's ridiculous politics either so it is what it is i guess!

Re: Opinions on Snake Heads
In my America we don’t kill for fun. We kill to survive and defend ourselves. I’m not doing any hits on fish unless I’m getting paid. I’ve retired from my mercenary career. Killing something because you are told is extremism! I can’t agree with that, sorry!
The Snakehead is an awesome gamefish that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Take a ride to south Jersey if you haven’t caught one! The bite and fight is super intense! Very strong fish!!!

Not to mention, seems like a tough court case to win if someone is issued a summons and decides to fight it. Without an actual photo of the release, how could they prove it? Not exactly like getting caught WITH the evidence...........

Say an invasive lizard snuck its way into your house, placing itself within your power. Would a law that requires you to kill it be constitutional in any way? I don't see it. Especially when the state has pretty much given up eradication. |

Re: Opinions on Snake Heads
So what's does are alustrous and fearless leader think?
And on a side note I'm surprised Jmurr has not posted a picture of himself eating a live snakehead.
