Here in Oz the Department Of Fisheries And Commonsense
has banned anything over 9mm in gill size, no more pocket fish because God forbid it's consealable !
Like you guys, we now only have 10 tooth mackerells because eveyone knows that you dont need more than 10 teeth to be deboned with :barf:
Well, after ereading all these posts, I was going to try and come up with another fish joke, but you guys are too good! So I'm going to skate, cause I got someone on the line............
Huh. Sounds like a conspiracy against us fishermen. But if they think they can take my rods, they can kiss my bass! And I have a loaded St. Croix flippin' rod that I can, well, er..... flip you off with!
If you use any potentially force-multiplying tool (extremely light blunt objects probably wouldn't qualify) to beat someone up, that tool becomes a weapon, and the crime is aggravated assault. Someone (the DA?) decided that a 10-lb tuna had the potential to be lethal, so the crime is aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Word on the street is that BoF troops have been seen trolling about in black fishing boats. I saw on the news that the House of Lords in England is considering a ban on the possession of swordfish - what a bunch of bottom feeders!!
had to bump this. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Man the laws are bass ackwards. If I was the victim I would sue the tuna company, becasue the tuna not the guy is the reason this lady was assualted.and if that works I would go after the grocery store and the clerk that sold him the tuna. These are some very grave times we are living in, I mean next we will need a concealed fishing permit, then they won't let us have anything smaller than a 16 inch bass and noting bigger than a 1 lb tuna since this guy beat his girl up with a 10 lb tuna. That's just too much tuna for any one person, ban it! LOL!!!
