I have never commentented on this topic before cause I have killed my fair share of fish even tho I don't eat fish but Even I stopped selling fish and I used to say I never found a fish I wasn't willing to sell. The older I have gotten, the less competitive I have become with fishing, esp since this past year my 10 yr old got hooked. I have grown an appreciation for the future rather than just gettin my share of it. It's not about me anymore.
I have been at this too hard and sacrificed too many times with friends and family chasing a pea brained fish with blinders on over the past 30 yrs
My son has asked so many times after seeing all the pics of me with big fish why I don't catch so many big fish anymore around Westport and think the attitude my old fishin partner and I used to have of "they just don't live here anymore" is not valid. Wether it be due to environmental changes in the spawning areas, locally, or globally. It is not good. The shameful part of this is that the only 1 contributing factor that we as humans can control is killing them.
Yet it just seems to be status quo
