Red, you deserve a good spanking! Now bend over and apologize.
Wap -–I feel so guilty about catching but not releasing.
Wap –-I feel so guilty about freezing my fish for later.
Wap --I feel so guilty for believing that it’s my right as a British Columbian to catch my own fish for my own consumption.
Wap -–I feel so guilty for believing that further reductions to salmon limits (in most cases) for sport fishermen are absolutely ridiculous attempts to secure more fish for other groups, and that doing so will only harm the sport fishing industry and fishing in general.
Wap -–I feel so guilty for believing that a recreationally caught salmon provides far more economic benefit than a commercially caught one.
Wap --I feel so guilty when I catch my limit (...like that happens very often).
Wap --I feel so guilty for not buying salmon at Safeway.
Wap --I feel so guilty for opposing farmed salmon.
Wap --I feel so guilty for eating salmon.
Wap -–I feel so guilty for not being rich enough to afford fishing charters at expensive lodges.
Wap --I feel so guilty about the 9, 074,278 Fraser River Sockeye that mysteriously disappeared between 1992 and 2004 after Ottawa allowed the commercialization of the native food fishery (see page A11 in the Sun today).
Wap -–I feel so guilty about sport fishermen catching salmon, even though recreational salmon fishing in British Columbia only accounts for about two percent of the total number of salmon being caught. (See the link below for the tables that show recreational, native and commercial salmon catch numbers dating back to 1952)

You will need to cut and paste the above address into your address box at the top of your page (including the "(Canada).pdf" part) to make it work.
Wap -–I feel so guilty for believing that the biggest threat to salmon stocks in this province may be the astonishing lack of knowledge (in the general public and even among recreational fisherman) about how many salmon are being caught by whom and for what purpose. We can rant about what’s PC and loopholes (and yes, some of the loopholes are a problem), but the salmon will be gone in a hurry if we fail to address the big issues.
Knuckles, I feel so much better now that I spanked myself. [B)]
