What kind of fisherman would I be to give away a good fishing spot?

@momirrrr It is the most effective and least harmful way of catching fish alive for eco-sytsem study, or repopulation efforts. These people are 3rd year students they know what they are doing. Its a wire and a ring....do you know how to operate one?

[momirrrr]

I would like to tie these idiots nuts with one of these wires and try to see is it harmful!

@lrpa12345 These fish all die after spawning. This method of catching salmon for roe and sperm harvesting is efficiant. Mortality factor does not come into play as these fish will die soon anyway with a low survival rate of natural spawned eggs.

this is streetsville dam, it is a no fishing zone is guarded by MNR.  u fish there, you may lose evrything you own

@lrpa12345 Incorrect. Do your homework, and compare it to other methods of sampling fish, and see how the mortality rates measure up.

Electro fishing seems easy way to catch fishes. But this is bad practice..some fishes take it very bad! I have seen some with haft body decaying and some with a big hole etc,. electric current really could damage their flesh..
