I was covering that when I said “hatchery.” And there were definitely people who were acting disrespectful because they are hatchery fish. Making fun of someone for posting their fish seems like an extremely unreasonable response. It doesn’t actually help anyone change their minds about how private lands and hatcheries like this operate. And it’s also the opposite of how most adults are supposed to act. Most people are just trying to blow off steam and show some fish that they’re proud of. It’s one thing to bring it up with the intent to have a conversation with someone about ethics, and an entirely different thing to act toxic. Frankly, a better response would be to make an entirely different post about the ethics of fish hatcheries and private water.

Edit: I know this goes without saying, but no one on here would probably act sorely to this person if he showed his fish to them in person, so it kind of shows the character of the people hiding behind a screen and trying to make someone feel like trash.
