Then you should have reported that it was in Canada, knowing the rules and all.

And knock off the 'children' crap or I'll have a hissy fit!

It's fine. I contacted the member and requested he repost with an explanationas to where the fish was caught. This being a primarily Washington fishing site a picture like that would cause a lot of commotion.

On my computer the photo size isn't an issue, but in general if people could keep photos to 800x600 max it would work better for people with smaller screens. Unfortunately this forum doesn't auto size pics to the right dmiensions, the user has to do it. And I can't edit the size down without deleting the post, so if akochman09 would repost one more time with the photo down-sized a bit, we "childern" would appreciate it. Otherwise, I will need to delete it, which I'd hate to do as it's a cool picture.


Let's all just chill a bit, shall we?

Or maybe everyone should stop jumping to conclusions, despite it being a "Washington" site.

What ever happened innocent till proven guilty........ Where do we live again?????

It's a major issue on my moniter and I hate scrolling back and forth. So I'll wait and let him change it to a smaller picture. I wasn't about to unlock the thread last night just to delete the BIG picture. He's probably at school in the classroom just now at 9:55am on Monday.

Alright, I have resized the the photo of the fish to the size that Mike requested.

I ask that the angry and sarcastic posts be edited out by the members who posted them and we move on with this thread.:)

Notellum River March 6th 2011; Here are 2 fish I landed. Lost a pig that straightened my hook. I got a glimpse of it and was definitely a nice fish, would have easily surpassed my personal best. IMO Nates look best left in the water to be released.

Nice fish Jensen !


I miss fishing waist deep, windy, almost freezing weather
for salmon and steelies.

Trade you some rainy, snowy 34º days for a couple of sunny 77º days.[cool]
