PETA tournament alert 2024

bassnleo reply :

Just found this on another forum. I decided to post it here to because I have seen some of the lake's names mentioned here.

Talk about goofy..........

Calling All PETA Activists!

We're unveiling PETA's newest tool to protect animals! Check out our beautiful, brand-new, state-of-the-art activist tool to help fish. [http://www.fishinghurts.com/RoboFish.asp]

Using remote controls, pro-fish activists can direct robotic fish to circle anglers' boats and emit very loud noises, thereby scaring away all the fish and saving them from horrible injuries and deaths on anglers' hooks.

We need your help to put our school of robo-fish into action! If you want to use one of PETA's robo-fish to disrupt fishing tournaments in your area, please let me know.

We already have team leaders for the following three tournaments, and they would love to have your help! Please contact me right away if you want to get involved.

Five Alive Bassmasters Buddy Bass Tournament at Assunpink Lake in New Jersey

Wal-Mart Walleye League in Trenton, Michigan

IFA Redfish Tour in Lafitte, Louisiana

There are dozens more tournaments on our radar. If you're willing to help out, we can send you a robo-fish with operating instructions and find a tournament for you. Please send me your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number if you would like to receive a loaner robo-fish.

Just a few hours of your time can save hundreds of fish from horrible pain and suffering. PETA has found that the robo-fish are 100 percent effective. Imagine the looks on anglers' faces after spending an entire day trying to impale unsuspecting fish and coming away with nothing!

Thanks again for all that you do for animals. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Karin Robertson, Manager

Fish Empathy Project

One of those PETA folks finds themselves messing with the wrong angler is gonna get hurt. Too bad I won't be there to see it.

redboat reply :

So I'm assuming if I get a buncha them robo-fish and run 'em around all the other guys' boats in the tournament it'd be frowned upon?

if they ran those robo fish around my boat, id just take out my pistol and shoot them, then what can they do?

Skidder reply :

I hope they find me with one of those.

See there is a law that says you can not harrass anyone fishing as long as they are not breaking the law. So not only will I press charges, I will hook their little toy and take it home!

There were some of the hippy. tree huggin, granola burpin,peta freaks at the classic in Pitt.

They were holding up a sign. My friend and I got an ESPN banner and went and stood right in front of them.

They left shortly after. I guess he didn't like the aroma that was coming from my backside.

The crowd went wild! ESPN was happy with us too!

Rattletrap reply :

I would just have to start carrying a shot gun to the tournaments, and shoot Robocarp. Peta and their kind are some the stupidest people around. They do that with a lot of money on the line and somebody will go "IKE" on them. I would ban them from launching from my marina. You could go non-lethal and pound them with rubber bullets or a bean bag gun. Or you could go the old fashion way and board their boat, kick their butt, and sink their remote control. ;D

Rattletrap reply :

Somebody will invent a scrambler if it starts happen too much. You should be able to arrest them for harrassment because it is legal to hunt and fish. It's illegal to harrass somebody. Peta, what losers they are. >

CJ reply :

That's gotta be a joke.

cedar1 reply :

This illegal in my state as it falls under the hunter harassment law.

Valascus reply :

No way that is true. That is got to be one of he stupidest things I have ever heard.

Nick_Barr reply :

Heck, you think Byron Velvick has one of those robo-fish going around his boat? LOL

Glenn reply :

What they're proposing is indeed illegal. Not only is it a criminal offense, but in many states, you can sue them for damages as well.

I'm sure the FLW will put a stop to it pronto if it occurs.

Funny.... I get hate mail from PETA members often. These folks absolutely believe they're doing nothing illegal. Guess it'll be a surprise to them when they're handcuffed, sitting in the back of a patrol car! ;D

Minuteman reply :

Oh please, if anyone hears of this happening near them, I want one. What great toy. We can just net them and see what the "owners" have to say when they try and get them back.

It actually is here in PA but few people ever act on it by reporting it to the appropriate law agency.

I kind of thought that too but who knows? The activists are just stupid enough to try it.

basspro48 reply :

That has got to be the stupidest thing I have EVER heard

PETA needs to just shut-up stop trying to disrupt our God given freedoms, if one of them PETA **** ever tries to disrupt my tournament or even fun fishing I swear I will rearange their face.

cajun1977. reply :

looks like we will need to start bringing a 12 gauge in the boat to blow that crap outta the water

bassnleo reply :

Any Navy guys have any mini depth charges? :

paparock reply :

Take them seriously, during the years I was living in Wyoming some of these tree-hugging fruitcakes went around spiking trees. Spiking is driving large nails into trees with the stated hope of having the timber cutters chainsaws kicking back on them when they hit a spike and killing the saw's operator. They actually equate a fish or game animal's life equal to a human life therefore if you die as a result of their actions they are only defending those that can't defend themselves so your death is only defense of another's life. There are a number of these animal and even plant life groups that are listed by the FBI as Terrorist Groups. I would not be surprised what so ever to see some day they may start taking more direct and lethal actions against sportsmen of all types. Some of their hardcore activists have gone underground for the express reason that they will be ready when defense is warranted.

This really burns me up! The "Feds" need to start targeting these groups more, in order to gain evidence of their funding of these splinter "direct action" groups before some sportsman looses their life. Also their funds and fund raising needs some serious auditing for the same purpose.

Valascus reply :

Wow...are you kidding me? They actually spiked those trees in hopes of killing another human being to save a tree? That's a shame...there is something seriously wrong with a person like that.

paparock reply :

No, I am not kidding. That little stunt was what caused the FBI to start taking seriously some of these wacko types. Check out these sites for just one example.http://ragette.org/treespike/enter.htm

http://www.things.org/~jym/ef/tree-spiking-memo.html

Do a search on the net and you will see how serious some of these nut cases are. Most are harmless BUT.

if i ever had one of those people screwing up my fishing they would need to see a doctor to remove my 7" flipping stick from their %#$ > > >

Okeechobee_Cracker reply :

If they had one of those fish round my boat id leave the first time. If they deside to follow me well I wouldnt suggest they do that >

Rattletrap reply :

All of those groups are terrorists.

anyone else request one? I'm sure they will be happy to find out I use it as a salt shaker and have no plans on giving it back.

jagdbdg reply :

My friend used to work at PETA in norfolk doing graphics design and hes not like that at all, he doesnt care that i fish, eat meat etc., i asked him about it 10 minutes ago and he said they do stuff like that every year around april fools day.

jagdbdg reply :

By the way i am not defending PETA in anyway

I do think they are annoying and their tactics are stupid

So can we bring 'em to the weigh in? Would they count as a bass?

I think it would be funnier to foul hook their robo fish, shoot them, then sell the fish on ebay.

That looks exactly like the robo-fish on their website. Screw em all.

Okeechobee_Cracker reply :

That robo fish looks real (I bet in the next couple weeks you will see a bunch of dead carp with shoot gun wounds floating do to angler misjudgement) ;D

KYbass1276 reply : http://www.fishinghurts.com/angling.asp look at how these morons think Warning if you don't want to get mad don't look

paparock reply :

Fishing Hurts? Poor PETA. :'( I knew I kept my saltwater gaffs for some reason. ;D

Those can hurt too. Is gaffing a PETA robofish legal or is a net required? :

Brian_Reeves reply :

I bet PETA really dislikes my new Mr. Twister Electric filet knife. Get 'er done!

Other. reply :

ok peta creates ro-bo fish

Fish get stressed by whet ever makes the fish leave

fish get fustreated and run themselfes into rocks and stumps and kill them selfs?

wow i though peta were supposed to save animals....

paparock reply :

If PETA cared one bit about the fish they would put their money where their mouth is as we do. PETA should stand for Pathetic Little Rich Kids (PLRK) bored for something to do. There are some terrorist types in the organization but they are supported by the majority that would go "OHHH it's slimy" if they ever touched a live fish.

dink reply :

I think someone told Velvick that robofish was Biosonix ;D ;D. He must have used it the whole time. Do you guys think those robofish like roboworms?

Matt Fly reply :

Let me snag one with my crank bait, it can't be cheap to lose one. Then you guys can raz me for not practicing "Catch and Release" cause I'm taking photos and throwing it in the live well.

Personally, I think Peta stinks, and if you disagree, chance are, you do to.

Wormy reply :

I think I am going to sign up to get one so I can play with it at home, take the noise makers out of it and put in a camera. Don't you know that a remote control fish would be expensive and COOL!!! Why not let those idiots pay for my toys. As far as one of them showing up with one while I'm fishing, they better have a really good bilge pump becuase there boat would be taking on water about the time I am slamming in my second magazine.

redboat reply :

I think PETAs efforts would be better directed to the plight of the nauga.

I don't know if any of you guys have ever visited a nauga ranch in West Texas. Those cute lil' naugas are raised in deplorable conditions, then when they're old enough are slaughtered for their hides which are then used to make furniture.

PETA activists, unite! Save the nauga!!! :'(

Other. reply :

agreead pscarbor

have peta stop making life harder for us fishemen who witch most practice catch and release go make life harder for them nauga, they got artifical leather now no need to kill those for leather.

anyways they dont slaughter nauga's they skin them alive. Arent they the onl animal on earth that can be skinned alive and live long enough to grow there skin then get skinned again?

Yep, they have "April Fools" stamped on the picture in the story now

guest reply :

I am well aware that this post will bring some flames but make no mistake I will make no apology for it.

I have been a fisherman, shooter, hunter and proud lifetime member of the NRA for most of my life. An awful lot of todays sportsmen owe their right to carry to the guys in my age group. I have no use for PETA and I sure as hell am not going to help their cause by spraying lead across the water at one of their boats, toy or otherwise. All you have to do is ask yourself what would happen if an innocent kid along the beach or another fisherman were hit and wounded or killed due to some random act of total stupidy. You would be doing more for PETA, anti-fishing, anti-hunting and anti-gun causes than anything their little minds could dream of.

bassindude reply :

This could be fun. Anyone else up for some Robo Bow Fishing? I always carry my bow with me all set up for fishing.
