The Nebe challenge.
 
Ok who I in???
The Nebe challenge is all about catch and release. Kill and keep ONLY the fish you know won't make it- gut hooked for example.

Next season I pledge to release all the striped bass I can...

Who else will pledge this?? :rtfm:

tattoobob 01-16-2011 02:59 PM

rphud 01-16-2011 03:07 PM

Nebe 01-16-2011 05:09 PM

This is how I roll.

spence 01-16-2011 05:18 PM

Assuming I get out to fish I'll probably keep the first one...but considering how few bass I've managed to kill over the years I don't think it's an issue.

NOT IN.

Unless I don't fish or don't catch any keepers.

In that case I'm MOST DEFINITELY IN.

I'm at 99% release anyway. Have been forever.

Rob Rockcrawler 01-16-2011 08:09 PM

IM 99% release as well. But i cant be "In" on this one. Just in case i catch a supa cow for the cup.

afterhours 01-16-2011 08:26 PM

that's my m/o...:)

capecodkid 01-16-2011 08:29 PM

Been doing that the past 2 seasons anyway but, I'm in..:)

BigBo 01-16-2011 09:28 PM

Not in. I keep one or two per year.

ivanputski 01-16-2011 09:32 PM

Everything in moderation...

piemma 01-17-2011 04:19 AM

I caught well over 200 legal fish last year. I kept 2. I believe that's 1%.
I will continue this year being a "1%er".

UserRemoved 01-17-2011 05:12 AM

I take one fish every so often. Sorry but it's food on my table. Maybe once every year or every two years. I'm catch and release every day nebe. I fish 100% barbless on all but tuna species. I'm with paul on that.

Rmarsh 01-17-2011 07:00 AM

I appeciate your efforts to conserve but I will be keeping a half dozen or so fish each season for my family to enjoy. I catch and release scores of fish every year. I would feel foolish to release fish and then go to a fish market and pay ridiculous high prices for it.

fishpoopoo 01-17-2011 07:35 AM

haven't killed a striper in a long time. :love:

Plum Crazy 01-17-2011 08:09 AM

Definately not in. I enjoy eating striped bass.
Last year I did however release way more fish than ever and for some reason I enjoyed releasing them. I will release more this year but no way will I release all. Sorry Nebe

johnny ducketts 01-17-2011 08:48 AM

I'm in I really don't catch anything anyways so the fish are safe.

slow eddie 01-17-2011 08:56 AM

sorry nebe. i also keep a few for the table.
baked bass with portague stuffing. oven roasted spuds. nice salad and a good bottle of chard.
doesn't get any better with clothes on.

Rockfish9 01-17-2011 09:24 AM

In..

Nebe 01-17-2011 09:42 AM

Just to clarify people- this isn't about 100% catch and release. It allows you to keep fish that are not gonna make it.

robc22 01-17-2011 09:50 AM

Nope.........

emgred 01-17-2011 09:55 AM

ZERO kept in 2010; though the large yellow eyed devil that had the nerve to CHOMP on my Fixter Pikie tempted me greatly!

RIROCKHOUND 01-17-2011 11:03 AM

I will keep my 3-4/year. Most will be gut hooked/dying, but some may not.

Saltheart 01-17-2011 11:31 AM

Catch and Release :btu:

Pete F. 01-17-2011 11:41 AM

I keep one or two fish per year, just so my wife really believes I'm fishing and don't have a girlfriend.

denis 01-17-2011 02:37 PM

Been doing that for a long time.

Also agree with Lee Wolf.
