Ok really??? I've been reading this and really am astounded. Yes I know I'm new to this forum, yes I know I'm new to going after Trout..but I can tell you without a doubt, that the first 2 fish I ever manage to catch are coming home with me! Stringer or sittting in the snow...they are homeward bound and destined for my plate! Anything after that..back they go..but really..if it's legal..who gives a rats a$$ if it's on a stringer and headed for a plate? C'mon now people, we are not talking about 'white bucket' people here, but people that want to show off their fish and be proud of what they managed to accomplish! I can tell you that *if* I finally manage to land a Rainbow I'm going to be proud as heck and would love to show it off! If someone jacks me for having it on a stringer?.....bring it....I've been fishing a long time and always try and look to the future when it comes to catch and release..but honestly...if I'm within the law, and it's coming to my table...who the heck is anyone to gainsay my decision? Nobody...plain and simple. You may not know me, and I may not know you..but as long as we all look out for the sport then it's all good!


Cheers!

Sure, keep your 2 trout limit and C & R for the rest of the day. The question is, what will happen if you hook into a fish that inhaled your bait, bleeding from the gills, and goes belly up when you try to release them back to the water? Or maybe you played the fish out too long and the fish isn't reviving properly? Not saying that you are, but if you are using trout roe from a previous catch and have two trout on a stringer, you're already over your limit.

Like you said, you're a noob to trout fishing and wouldn't want you to be explaining to a MNR officer why you're over your limit. Sometimes, it's better to be humble than be a show off.

I was not around to see the threats he made towards you and like I said, I don't think he would just threaten you for no-reason. How do you know he didn't read them?? I don't remember seeing any proof that he lied or that he poached, but it you can come up with some, I gladly accept it. Cheers.

I couldn't send you a PM so here it is:

When he first got busted:

His apology, but deletes it:

So are you saying ChaseChrome and other great members of this site are not a good members just cause they've been banned from other forums? Please elaborate for me. Thanks.

I wasn't aware when/where/why ChaseCrhome was banned and it's not my business.

As tough as it is for you to believe, I'm just saying the truth, along with what other people have said. When Blair was caught yanking steelies in closed trout waters, some of us called him out on it and the Blair supporters were in disbelief and didn't want to accept it giving him the benefit of the doubt. Even after he posted his apology of what he did, the same Blair supporters were still in denial that what he was doing was ethically wrong.

Even now, you have seen first hand of how much of a looney bin this guy is making threats and going off like a rabbid animal and there are people who still vouch for him. Seriously? lol

It isn't the first time or second time or even a third time, it's a re-occurring event.

My own conclusion: Blair doesn't belong here, he belongs in CAMH.

A bunch of guys on the forum ganged up on Blair, and started getting underneath his skin, like children (see above posts re: hugging fish - obviously Blair wasn't advocating hugging all of your fish). Blair got pissed and two people ended up getting banned, including Blair. The mods have to do their best to keep everyone happy and to abide by the rules, they are volunteering their time and ultimately I think a 30 day "cooling off period" isn't really a ban, they're just doing their best to keep everything running smoothly, which it wasn't anymore so obviously they had to take some action. Hopefully Blair comes back, and in the future the agitators should get disciplined, not the one who is being agitated. I've never seen Blair trying to get underneath anyone's skin, he's usually the first to welcome noobies and offer advice. You don't have to agree with him or be his buddy, but there should be zero tolerance on this forum for immature flaming and agitation of a member, especially one with decades of fishing experience all over North America.

Blair has had his share of "no-nos" on this forum that should have gotten him banned ages ago. Fishing closed waters, using other people's fish to take photos and claiming to be his own, naming a specific group called "the trout mafia", etc. He's definitely not the saint that people make him out to be. RiverNinja did what he had to do and newbs being newbs, were just following Blair's words as if he was a fishing god.

He's had other blowups at other members as well to the point where he starts to delete his posts. If the posts were not harmful, why would he go back and delete his posts? He's a loose canon at best and people need to think for themselves and not rely on people like Blair. As many of you know, he's been banned on other fishing forums as well, so conclude for yourselves.

OMG.... come on.
How "MANY" salmon did they catch.....



Seriously man i didnt think this site has turned into the BIGGEST PETA FEAST in the world! (No offence meant).

They are catching fish for FOOD!



OMG.... how do you think WE EAT? SERIOUSLY....... Holy cow man, has EVERYONE put the BLINDERS ON as to WHERE and HOW we get our FOOD?



Seriously.



You know, I will just stay out of these conversations.

The HYPOCRACY and RELEVANCE .... I dont know "Misdirected" outlooks at our "WOES of the WORLD"..... (Some Natives Catching fish for food)



WAKE UP.... *SMILES* and BREATH some of the REAL WORLD.
Look in our MODERN SOCIETY MIRROR..

SERIOUSLY




Maybe we should try and upload a video of someone "Trying to Fish in Syria" right now *SMILES* That would be funny






ps: I forgot this was a FISHING FORUM! My bad

Seriously

What are you trying to say, really? lol You call out CJR and then say, you were not calling him out. And then you insult this site as being a PETA Feast and then say, "No offense meant"

Blair, WTF are you trying to say???

I mean, how can you say something rude/offensive and not mean it afterwards? Do I call you a loogan and then say, "no offense meant"? lol
