Was able to hook into 8 fish in total, 4 Rainbows and 4 pikes. Smallest pike was just over 20" and the largest at 29"; all C&R. Of the 4 rainbows, I kept the two smallest one (in the picture, 15" & 19") and let the other two big ones go (23" and 23.5"). Here are pics of the trouts I kept and one of the pikes.

Going to be heading out again tommorow morning, hope everyone else had a great time on opening week.

All things aside, horsetrader makes a good point

Also when it comes to giving a description, ethnicity is the starting point at which forms a description of anyone. it really changes the features of the description. its not like im going to say that he is black at the end of the witness sketch....... that said I dont think they all look alike because they dont. However, certain ethnicities have certain features that are "commonly different" to other ethnicities. doesnt mean they all look alike.

If I say someone is asian or oriental it is in no way discriminatory. Literally if I was describing white guys i would say white guys not just guys. if there is a different way to summarize different ethnicities that you guys are comfortable with then please share. And no I personally dont know the difference between japanese and chinese and korean. sometimes I can guess and get it right. most times not. just like most people cant tell the difference between an american, canadian, english, scotish, irish just by looking yet we are all called white.

but in all seriousness, I can understand why one might feel upset about being called an "asian" however, consider that it is not necessarily a derogatory name. if the comments that follow are questionable then it's open season, but otherwise just relax. i have many friends of several cultures. we all make fun of eachother for it unless there is a reason for it to not be ok.

and if any one has a problem with that, they better learn the difference visually between a Canadian and an American or i will swim across the river and beat you with my fenwick.......



good day.

You do not like the term Oriental or Asian But you have no problem using the term Caucasian in reference other people then Asians. The term Caucasian comes from the Caucasus region where there is over 50 ethnic groups living.so it is ok for you to group ethnic groups under one heading but not for others .Perhaps you should look up the definition of racist. As you say best of luck to you

I in no way endorse his comments but am lobbying for the side of reason that it is not always possible to narrow down to a specific ethnicity based on purely visual evidence, hense it should be socially acceptable to group ethnicities (ie. White, Black, Asian) for the purpose of description when it is not used to be derogatory.

1) What's point of coming to a forum to say "I saw Asians poaching!"? Why not gender, or age, or height or clothing styles? The only point of a comment like that is to continue to spread the bigotry. If you really want to do something, call RAP. So simple.

2) The only reason to say "they all look the same" is to continue the bigotry and pound that fact home.

Do you get it now? If not, it's ok... I don't actually expect you to get it. You didn't really understand the Jackie Chan statement or anything else that has been said on this thread, so why start now?

Let me play mediator for a second. I do not believe that Horsetrader was actually attacking you or anything like that. nore was he trying to use oriental in a negitive way against or anyone. All he was doing was stating an opinion as he sees it. He is very strong in his opinions as anyone can tell who has read his posts but generally means no harm. so really attacking him and calling him names and making tiny brain comments and saying "people like you" is just escalating what I think is you actually not understanding his post. just relax a bit. he was just making a point in the reverse direction of people generalizing ethnicities.

Heres a prime example....i recognized a white guy at the playground today...he matched the poster of a pedophile.
he was sitting with 3 other white dudes, there was too many of them.
I was on the swing set with my G-kids and couldnt get near them
My cell phone was dead so it was in the truck charging

And if you really want to get technical, the world is round, so how can I be universally Oriental?

BUT to get back on topic, so do I understand this correctly, that there was a fellow who saw a few people who had black hair, round faces, and slanted eyes, catching fish and keeping them?
Wonder what their background is, it would help to know when you call it in.
OH, IBTL, lol
