Course Is In Session…. Baitfish 101

Alright.

So you would think that in this info age we fishermen and fisherwomen would have all the knowledge of baitfishing at our fingertips.

Evidently, some of us have been slow to enter this info age, so as a public service I am heading to pass along some instead “typical sense” info that apparently isn’t being absorbed by the fishing world.

This info is being sent, with the hope that if 200 individuals read this article and then they tell 200 individuals and so on and so forth,maybe, just maybe sufficient individuals will get the message.

I have enlisted Professor R. O. Tenone, the famous professional on organic fish carnage, to clarify the use of “live baitfish” and it’s impact on lakes and rivers. We join the professor midstream on his lecture…..

…….”Zo course, as you can zee ze Goldfish, why generating a extremely nice pet for ze vindowzil and bringing zmiles to zee faces of zee many children, tends to make a extremely poor choice when uzing it azz bait for catching zee large one!”

“Vy you inquire?”

“Vell, if zee Goldfish zhould ezcape zee clutches of zee hook–zen der iz good opportunity he vill zurvive to dezzimate zee fishery he haz been launched into!”

“Are zer any qvestions?”

“Yez–you zer vit zee plaid hat.”

“Professor, why are we talking about Goldfish? Are you actually telling us that individuals are utilizing Goldfish as bait to catch fish?”

“Abzolutely. Goldfish, Chubbs,and Zquawfish are all ze prime examples of live baitfish that have turned vhat vas once prime trout vaters into vatery vastelands devoid of any vorthvhile fish.”

“That is a great deal of ‘V’s’ professor.

“Zat’s not zee stage.”

“Zee stage izz, ruining zee fishing of an entire lake just zo one person can “hang zee large von” zeems a little zelfish–NOOO?”

“No–I imply yes–I imply is this a real problem?”

“Vell, I did not turn out to be zee professional on fish carnage vithout getting initial hand knowledge.”

“Oh, yeah–your the guy that has to use that organic “toxic to fish” poison that kills off all the fish in a lake so they can re-plant fish, so fishermen can fish for trout or some thing other than trashfish.”

“In zee issue of zpeaking.”

“I don’t conzider any fish trash, but I don’t zink it is organic to have zee large Koi pond out in zee vild either.”

“Vhat–I imply What can we do?”

“Vell, initial ve must educate zee fisherman zat zees fish are no good to use azz bait. Zpread zee vord in all zee fishing circles you know, vorms are o.k.,Rapalas vork vell,and of program zee flys, but no Goldfish!”

“I don’t know professor, seems like a fairly daunting job.”

“Good, azz long azz you feel comfy looking at zee grown men ztanding on zee cover of zee magazine holding zee mighty Goldfish–zen it iz o.k. vit me.”

“I guess that isn’t extremely impressive.”

“In zee conclusion, I am heading to give zee link to zee tale I read zat made me give zis course”

“Remember course, if zey have to call me–zen it is too late, and you know who pays ven Professor R.O. Tenone has to display up?”

“Uhhh, …allow me see…. uhhh… the taxpayers?”

“Course dizmizzed.”
