In an effort to keep this website up-to-date, I thought there should be a topic on this (if one has already been started, I wasn’t able to find it). What are your feelings about this event. Is it a good idea? Or a bad idea? Are you indifferent about it? Are you going to compete in it?
Must admit there is a bit of sense to their argument, as it wasn’t too long ago that both DFO and the environmentalist groups were calling for a complete slowdown on the fishing of coho, not sure how all of a sudden it’s open season. Then again I’m far from removed from the fish loop these days, so what do I know eh!
that’s rad…people bitching because Prince Rupert is trying to salvage an industry destroyed by somebody eles’s lack of competence. To hell with Terrace, in my opinion, that town should be destroyed and they can start again. That’s awesome that you guys are having that derby and it should help a little…the real argument should not be about rupert getting a fishing derby, but about BC Ferries destroying the tourism industry. Leave it to Terrasites to bitch and complain about another town benifiting from something.
I love the whole controversy… apparently the guy didn’t catch the fish from a canoe as he had stated - it was caught on a commercial boat, and the fish wasn’t even a coho!
I think this Northern Salmon Classic is a joke, more news on Hanks fish, Hank took the salmon home and smoked it, then after that brought it down and said something like this “this is how first nations do it” so the judges at the time excepted it…Also the judges are asking back the 1000.00 dollers. theres also talk about joy thorpsen not sure on her spelling being involved with this too…
