FFS, what is it going to take to get people to stop using Murdoch rags as a source. Don't make them profits by clicking through to their sites.

What, now you're telling me the fish pond not for trying out your fishing gear?
My local Cabelas has an archery range for trying out your bow. My local gun store as an indoor shooting range for trying out your gun. My local Land Rover dealership has a little off road course for trying out your truck...
See, this is perfectly logical!
I mean, even if they were for trying out gear, I don't think they'd appreciate you trying to run off with their fish.
If they didn't want people to run off with their fish, they shouldn't call themselves Bass Pro Shops.
Hey, it ain't no "Bass Pro Charity!"
See that's a common misconception. It's actually a pro shop for the bass
Those bass are real masochists.
At least the persons involved were smart enough to film the incident so they'd never get caught
It was someone else filming it
@glimse It's been a day or so now but I thought the article said he and two other people went to the store to do this so I assumed it was one of the others filming so they could post it for fake Internet points.
Florida.
I like that they're working with some animal cruelty people. At a hunting and fishing store. Over a guy who netted a fish without hooking it and dragging it through 50 feet of water to reel in.
I mean, I get it, but it's still kinda funny. Guy scooped up a fish in a net: animal cruelty.
