NOYB strikes me as being the kind of blathering moron that gives
authority such a bad reputation. I did the right thing and neither you
or any other brownosing self appointed expert can tell me or her
anything different. Fishing rules were made to keep the fish from
being overfished, if you think they should be enforced just to make a
point of harassing a 9 yr old then you are a sicko. The fish was gonna
die, we ate it, tough **** asshole.

Sometimes it's hard, but we are *really* trying to keep the name-calling out of here.
NOYB is one who lives and fishes in Florida, and is concerned with the rules and
regulations in his home state. I get *really* ****ed when I see someone breaking the
rules for rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay.

A couple years ago I had a kid visiting from Belarus. He was 10. We went fishing. We
must have caught ten or so rockfish, all within two inches of being legal (18"). He
was totally ****ed seeing every fish he caught thrown back, when only one of them
would have fed his whole family!

If the fish was going to die, then the crabs would have fed.
