Am glad someone is willing to focus on taking those things out of the rivers. I wont do it for $5 per fish and wouldnt do it for $10 either. Free time is too valuable to spend it picking up trash.

Heck, $23,592 just to fish sounds good to me. Paco, I think more people need to spend some of their free time picking up trash!

Hmmmm...numbers are down compared to past years. Probably because they cracked down on the cheaters.
I was one of the 194. I'd fish more, but that's the time of year I'm busy at work. :depressed:

Nice job 1pump. I was one of the 1340.

I remember last year I was fishing ("or picking up trash" as you guys say) up towards Bonnie from the bank and the group to the right of me caught a keeper sturgeon. Then the guys to my left had a rod go off and caught a summer chinook. Meanwhile I had caught 3 peamouth and a *********. I sure felt like the master fisherman that day...

Can you do this as a business and can you write off costs associated with your boat/tackle/lunch? :grin:

If so I may have a new career. Gosh, I hate those smelly things!
