""The WDFW has been notified and I have a meeting with them this afternoon at 1:30. I am bringing all of the evidenced I have collected. The things this kid is doing besides taking GPO's is highly illegal and should get their attention. I suggest a flier campaign with his photo on it killing this GPO. Make up a flier that is advocating the saving of GPO's and making Cove 2 a marine sanctuary. Use this guys photo to promote this. Plaster them everywhere around Seattle and Cove 2 as well as around this kids workplace and residence. Plaster his car with them. Secondly, make a film about GPO's and go film the dying eggs and get the media involved. Call the news. They will have a hayday with this. Anti hunters have been doing this sort of thing for years. The media will drool all over this. If someone wants to put a flier together, Ill donate my time and $$ to print off a few hundred. Perhaps others will as well. In the mean time... I would suggest that any reference to the location of GPO's cease immediatly on all public forums. This kid doesent have the skills to find them himslef. He is obviously getting locations from the web. (He has photos of him in the hospital and a deco chamber on his facebook page).

Just to be clear- I'm not a troll. I have nothing against spear fishing. I don't do it myself, but I've been meaning to give it a try one of these days. |

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
All of you two-bit dicks that like to get on your computer from elsewhere and bitch about stuff in our backyard are clueless. Come here to do some spearing and see how crappy our regulations have become because of jerks like these and others.....Then you can talk!

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
Nothing wrong with replying to other posts elsewhere, but when we get put down for trying to defend whats left of our spearing rights...thats crap!

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
First of all, it is sad to see that the popular octopus got slayed but it have to die some day. It would be better to kill it to feed people instead of letting it die in the wild and tourists will mourn over its absence. Absence = absence.
Natural death = death by hunter except cause of chaos. They should either do one of those: 1) Build an enormous aquarium for octopus where tourists can dive and visit them. 2) Buy that cove and put 'No Trespassing Allowed' 3) etc.. None of options above have been done, so it is completely legal even it is a heartbreaking...but...hey...don't we 'annoy' the customers/owner of stores by driving through their parking lot for a short-cut way or to dodge the bad traffic? Should they report and make it illegal for us the drivers? So that way we have to stuck in the middle of the traffic for a whole time. No thanks. Only thing it will piss me off is if Mr. Miller do not consume all octopus meat. That's it. By the way, in one post mentioned about visiting a zoo and snap a bambi in front of children. Bambi is on the property owned by some organization/association/owner/etc... while the octopus was on the property that is not owned by anyone unless I am wrong..... |

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
Defending your rights?! That clown jacksonbrown/Cory/Samson is doing way more harm then helping. He was one that grabbed his pitch fork and torch right along with those other db's calling for this kid's head. Get off your high horse and take a look around.

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
If this kid is going to try to ruin what little is left of our spearing rights, then that's where his head belongs...on the end of a spear!

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
You say "wow" and "wtf"...How would you feel if where you lived your spear regs were really limited(we only get 3 weeks out of the whole damn year to get ling cod in puget sound) and some punk comes along making waves and making spearo's look like shit so that they want to make things even tougher.
You would say the same thing or just give up spearing...F__k that!!! |

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
I wouldn't threaten the kid, that is a pretty juvenile action. we have our own issues with fishing restrictions in the NE so its not like you are experiencing anything that other spear's aren't, its just we try to tackle our issues like adults instead of coming across like hot heads and punks. How about you or some other spear take the kid out diving and show him how to do things properly, that way you get another diver to behave on a manner that is compatible with your views.

Re: Guys killed a giant pacific octopus
If he was willing to listen I would be more than happy too. But it's hard to say when he had already bragged about spearing in a different off limits area.
