Ok so I am just curious. Am I the only one offended by the member GrabThatBass or something like that? This guy likes to post his photos and it is all about the fish he keeps and not really responsible fishing. Backgrounds of dirty kept fishing spots...A muskie that is too small that is covered in dirt and grass as if mistreated. I know it may be wrong of me to post a topic like this but I feel some action should be done.

I noticed that as well - it's not that I have anything against people keeping fish, as long as it is done in accordance to the guidelines and with a great deal of respect and thoughtfulness of the resource you're using. I myself keep fish, however it's not a every trip thing, or an insane quantity. I see no problem with it as long as it is within the reg's and in moderation. Also I've noticed more than one member with these kind of pics up as well. I'd never post a pic of a "dead fish" maybe it's just me, but I prefer the live shot, or release shot. Anyways that's my 2 cents.

If he is within his rights, what's the problem?

You can always ignore his pics, and doing so will likely remove any desire of his to post...

Its not that I am that bored, its just that this site is about doing the right thing with fish handling and general care. We all preach about catch and release and picking up after ourselves, but looking at the pics it shows the opposite of what we try to promote. I just don't think it helps the site.

Yeah if I was a Mod I would remove his pictures and ban him. Don't get me wrong I take fish within a certain length. But that is just disgusting.

Looking at his pics, there are a few things I am against like all the kept fish, esp the timy perch, it is gross. But also by his pics you can tell he is a shore fisherman. When you are fishing from shore and you have a monster fish all hooked up, and hes floping around, sometimes he gets out the net and you just gotta get that hook out, give him a kiss and put him in the water. I sure wouldnt pose for a pic with him after this happens but to each their own. If he is a proven whitebucketer then off with his head!
