Do you guys NOT like eating Bass??
Maybe it's in my genes. I learned to fish from my father. My father fished for two reasons, and I believe they were equal in his mind & heart. Reason #1, enjoyment - Reason #2, Food. It was that much less $$$ that we had to spend at the market, being an immigrant...he didn't have a pot to pssss in.... If we had a good weekend of fishing, we had a solid week of eating fish. If the fishing was incredible, calls were made and fish was delivered. I think that stuck with me. My entire family loves fish, so sometimes on a planned fishing trip...I call ahead and see who's hungry for some fish...on the days I go on the fly, the fish get released.
When I read that some of you keep one fish per season, it boggles my mind. By keeping one fish, it shows that you enjoy eating fish. So why just one per season? Do you really think that by keeping 1 fish per outing, your hurting the stocks? I know, multiply the number of fishermen, yada yada yada......but c'mon, fish were created for
1 reason. FOOD!! Does your neighbor like fish? Do you like your neighbor? Do you even KNOW your neighbor???....I don't get it sometimes.....
My...how times have changed.
