I'll cut an abandoned trot line with the quickness. You did a fine thing.

Problem is checkin the line to begin with
I figure the problem is not cutting an unattended line and letting it go to the bottom.

Not understanding what y'all a considering abandoned? How do you decipher that one is "abandoned"? Guess we just came from diff places.

Bloated catfish + gator 
Look, I just don't get the outrage with "checking". Stealing? Sure. If someone checks my line and frees a turtle, gator, 2 year old with duck tape over her eyes, I tell the guy thanks.

Ruthless indeed, I heard gators run all of the big bank we bailed out. AND that they're behind this godawful idea to remake "Footloose."

Dead bloated fish on it.
One day, two days..it does not matter. If you are not going to check your lines with a regularity that fish do not have time to die, do not set them out.

The only ones I know for sure are abandoned are the ones behind the levee on the Mississippi when the river goes back down. Those things gave us hell riding 4 wheelers when I was younger 
People who don't pick their stuff up annoy me

Everytime we run lines, we are having to avoid old ones left there.

A. That gator hasn't been on there long. You can tell by the condition of the trot and the line itself. The doesn't appear to have in the water long at all.
B. Catfish left on a line one day in this heat, unless in a deep hole will bloat and become discolored.
C. I have zero problem with freeing the gator. Just feel that people that don't appreciate what goes into running lines are too quick to disrespect them.
D. Whoever put that line out stopped at academy and picked it up, so they probably weren't real serious about, but that's not really the point.
Didn't intend to take over your thread with my judgmental redneck rant. Sorry. You did god's work by freeing that beautiful animal.

You should have let that bastard die!!! They are a nuisance where I fish and frog. I would have kilt it and ate it, instead of saved it.

Infidel I see where you are coming from, nobody likes when people mess with their equipment. I think that a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouth when it comes to trot lines because of the idiots who abandon them, let fish die, or run them in really stupid/unsafe areas. Even though I know it's probably a small percentage of people running lines who do this, those are the lines people notice. I know how pissed I get when I have to stop fishing because a completely submerged line gets tangled in my trolling motor.

I don't get to run em much anymore. Haven't put out a jug or a trot line all year.
Posted on 7/5/11 at 9:58 am to INFIDEL
I'll put out a crude jug line if I'm going to the camp for a couple days and only plan on drinking and frickin around. Doesn't happen very often though.
Posted on 7/5/11 at 9:59 am to INFIDEL
My problem with abandoned trot lines is that they are exactly that..."abandoned." If you're not going to run a line any more, why not pick it up? People don't like nylong string stuck in their props. I blew a lower unit because of fricken nylon string.
