What happened to the thread. I know the guy tried to delete his pictures and posts, but then the whole thread dissapeared?
- POOF * just like 2013 and then it was gone

Was it the thread with 7 fish on a stringer and 2 anglers? had to be an honest mistake as nobody would knowingly post an illegal catch on CF.
actually there were only 6 fish on the stringer, someone said there were seven but if you blew up the pic and counted there were only six on it, i think that is why they were upset being accused of illegal fish, in the post the guy even said there were only 6 fish kept,

No way- there were definately seven, fish dont have two heads and two tails that I know of. The guy admitted as much, his last post he said there were seven and said he made a mistake. He deleted the pics because he was busted.
he said it was an eight fish stringer but only kept 6 fish, i thought that the other fish in question was the one the other guy was holding,i personally could only see 6 fish, maybe i was wrong, or maybe the fish had two heads, maybe i didn’t look long enough, and what do you mean he was busted, do we have forum police now to count and measure the fish so we can make unkind remarks to someone who posted a picture of something we all love to do, catch fish, instead of saying "he probably had other fish in the cooler or he probably had other stringers, why couldn’t we say something like “wish i had been there too” or “looks like you found the spot” i do not know who they were nor had i ever met them, but i was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, something we seem to take for granted these days,one day we may be out on the water and brake down and they are the ones that come to help us out, who knows, now we have upset someone we do not even know and for no real reason…, maybe we were jealous because we had not found the spot? i don’t know the answer, just asking that we all be a little more tolerant of each other not so critical and a little more encouraging not so discouraging… i’ll get off my soapbox now, this website has been very good for me and everyone has been kind to help me out especially when i first joined up and i was just disappointed on how those new guys were treated
He said all along he had seven reds. That was all his doing, if he had admitted his mistake (that he kept a minimum of seven fish when only allowed six) it would have been no big deal. He came up with a couple of crazy explanations and kept changing his story. I personally didn’t think it was a big deal until he deleted his pictures and then erased his posts. Then apparently he somehow had the thread deleted even though you cant delete a whole thread yourself. Nobody does all that for nothing. People told him it wasn’t a big deal, he choose to create the controversy by his multiple explanations. I was just trying to figure out where the thread went.
Agree, the guy was clearly in the wrong. Multiple people told him they were just trying to look out for him so he wouldn’t get a ticket next time. He wanted none of that, and made every excuse and accusation he could come up with. Nobody said it was a big deal, but he made it one. I imagine the thread got taken down by the admins after he asked for it to be taken down.
Unfortunately, there are way too many people that are willing to bend the rules, whether that’s keeping too many fish, fish outside the slot, out of season, or whatever. People think “what’s the big deal?”
Well, it’s our responsibility to take care of this resource and self police. When we see someone breaking the rules, it’s our job to call them out on it.
An educational moment that instead gets deleted so it can be repeated again. I would think a thread like that would be good for clicks. Sweeps week is upon us as well.

It is what it is!
Wow, i think my point has been made, just not understood, i would hope we would not condemn people so quickly, i am glad the thread was taken down, why keep it up so they have to take more abuse, if we had a problem with it why didn’t we private message them not flog them on a public forum, treating my fellow anglers with kindness is more important than a fish, if i am wrong then cast the first line, first line not stone , stones can hurt lol
Kindness is him not getting a ticket next time he’s pulled over by DNR. It was good for others to learn as well.
Everyone was just trying to save him a ticket and he blew up and made it all worse
I wish there was a forum of poofed threads that were just locked and nobody could respond any longer.

Then it would not be a public forum. Hitler tried that.
