I was shore fishing at the arnprior water station and by the old dock i saw a blue cord going into the water and something moving attached to it. It was a nice 2.5 feet pike that somebody caught and left there on a string. I guess (and hope) it was forgotten.
I did released him, he took a few seconds to realized he was free he swam away.
I am not totally against keeping fish. I do keep one or two sometimes to eat right away but... IF YOU ARE TOO DRUNK TO RECALL YOU HAVE ONE ON A STRING DO CATCH AND RELEASE. Release it back so he can get bigger and give another chance to somebody else or you later.
All my apologies for this ... "venting session".
