I think the entire C&R thing has gone too far. It is not doing anyone any good not even the fish. It is time to bring back catch and keep. According to many "scientific" articles all the fish you release just die anyany so you may as well keep them.
If we don't takem the comm guys will...take all you can while the going is good.
BTW, the 1980s was the best bass fishing in history!!! More large fish were caught then (including several state and world records) then any time in history.
According to official numbers we have too many bass anyway and nothing is in danger because of the fantastic job that the marine fisher depart's do. Go get em! Worry about any problems later.
