[QUOTE="Seedy, post: 1072750, member: 10694"] This is a repost of something I've shared on the North American Native Fishes Assoc. (NANFA) Web site before. I thought I would repost it here as Spoonbill season is upon us. 1st off a couple of quick things to clear the air... I am a sport fisherman. I have no problem with people who choose to Spoonbill/Paddlefish snag "responsibly". I choose not to snag for Spoonbill as I don't feel that snagging fish is "sporting". With that being said...These pictures make me absolutely sick. These pictures were not staged in any way, they were composed as I saw them. These pictures are just the few whose composition caught my eye, this scene repeated itself multiple times in a 100 yard stretch of river. These pictures were taken at the "Low Water Dam" on the Grand/Neosho river below Lake Hudson (Kerr Dam) in NE Oklahoma. I very well could have gotten my ass kicked or worse for being were I was with my rather obvious camera around my neck while I saw MANY people taking well over their legal limit (1 per day). You are looking at a couple of things here. 1) A dead bird killed by becoming ensnared in discarded mono filament fishing line. 2)Roofing tiles, discarded bottles and cans 3)A Paddlefish that was snagged, gutted for its caviar and its body (with plenty of good meat) discarded and left to rot well within the banks of the river. [attach=full]74684[/attach] The fish itself, gutted and left to rot...looks like a kid was poking it with a stick... [attach=full]74685[/attach] Dead Bird [attach=full]74686[/attach] Another fish, gutted for its caviar and left to rot [attach=full]74687[/attach] [/QUOTE]
