Who's fish is it????

[sandcaster]

We were fishing today, I had several break offs and lost my gear. A buddy hooked my line and landed my line with a fish attached. Is the fish mine or his?

A. Mine

B. His

[Bull Red]

I say it's his, but only for the sake of telling the story. He is not entitled to claim a fish story on the actual size of the fish.

Just my young opinion.

Hey man, you hooked it first !

[Steve]

Man, that was a lucky "break", no pun intended.....
Sounds like it's his fish, you lost the rig.
If it weren't for him, you would not have got the rig back.
But heck, I say each of ya take a fillet !

[ocsnapper]

Got to agree with Steve. just be glad you got your rig back. and enjoy telling the story.

[igormothra]

I'd have to say his.....but I agree you both should get a filet

[Charkbait]

I say he gets the credit for saving the fishes life, therefore...his fish.

This rule goes back to when you first learn to fish- you have to touch the fish in some manner to claim you actually caught it. I lost a nice blue in the wash as I was leaning to pick it out in the AI surf last Saturday. I told my wife that it was a good fight, but I did not actually catch it. Same rule applies here.

who's hook is in the fishes mouth? yours, so it should be your catch

[Mighty Quinn]

It's nobody's. You gotta release that fish and let him go. You hooked him and lost him and your friend didn't catch him either, he caught some fishing line. It's a draw and the fish wins.

Just kidding.

[sandcaster]

The fish did win, but it has been a great story. The score board with was 5-0 for fin fish. If the catch goes to me it would be 6-0... If not then big Jan gets one and he isn't blanked. We have had a great time with this, he felt the same catching this fish as when he caught a sea gull.

[Critter Gitter]

His fish but you get your rig back.

[Bunker Head]

Broken line, Lost fish. Fish is His He might give you the rig back After proving it is your lost rig that is attached to said fish. Just funnin! His Fish both rigs can be split down the middle you get yours he gets his.
