People define themselves by their actions. Those that fish ethically define themselves as such. Those that don't fish ethically do the same. I don't care if you all define yourselves as ethical anglers using gear that is not appropriate for the prey or conditions, everyone else know the deal. I have seen dead fish in the SFC, many times. I counted 11 one day at Stites. I have also seen fish dragged up on the rocks, snagged in the anal fin with one of 4 trebels on the same leader. Those guys had no problems with what they were doing either.
I prefer my fish to not be pre-smoked, and hooked in the mouth when they bit the lure. I'm out of here, I'll associate with ethical skilled anglers that don't feel the need to fish holes full of kegged up boot fish.
