I respect both ways, I hunt too, and there is no catch and release there. I keep what I am going to eat...and I do eat it. And prepare it, and vacuum pack it. I keep panfish, stripers, walleye, as I like them. Have become a striper addict , and release, by far, most of my fish. I like to eat the 28-30" specimens, meat is finer, release the others. I am impressed by "parkers" use of all the fish, and he clearly does. Many folks I have seen waste them, they keep them just to take home and show. Not for me. Good thread.
