First off let me say what you do with your own fish is your own business! Number two you say you keep smaller fish to eat. Smaller bass say 30-40 inches produce far more eggs that a old gal say fifty pounds. Therefore, theoretically you hurt the population more by keeping the smaller fish. Number three unless you actually have a Master's license you shouldn't impersonate one. If you do, and you run a boat - (charter or party) the fact is your skill has produced many more fish for customers that they take home, and far outways the number of bass taken home by members of this board (Per person). Meaning that if we as individuals each caught the same amount of fish, because of your business you would kill many more fish than the others. Don't come back with each person is their own entity, because with out you running the boat they would catch nothing!!!
