Chip, this is all "pure gold". I can honestly say I have never met anyone like you in my entire life. Normally, you have to hand a crazy person a weapon to hurt themselves, but you supply everything... including the entertainment! hahaha
If you think getting pissed off at having some asshole falsely accuse you of intentionally targeting a protected species is funny, wait until it happens to you.
Won't be so funny then.
And if you think condoning that behavior on a public forum is cool, then wait until you get sued for abetting slander and libel.
Now that would be really entertaining.
How many black sea bass have you caught? Aren't they a protected species? Are you intentionally targeting them and using shark fishing as your cover story? Since you've caught so many and continue to use the same equipment, does that constitute proof of an established pattern that you're targeting them? Or does the fact that you publicize your catches of protected species on this board mean that you actually promote the targeting of protected species?
Of course you cut your line immediately once you identified them right? You didn't break any CDFW laws by actually landing them, removing the hooks, and posing for a picture before releasing them did you? Because if you did, some self righteous jerk could document all of your posts and pics on this board as evidence and submit it to CDFW and the district attorney for prosecution.
Yeah Tom, that would be a f@cking laugh riot and you'd totally bend over and take it without defending yourself, right?
You're right, this is pure gold and entertaining.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
But what the f@ck, it's the weekend. Have a beer
