AND WE WONDER WHY FISHING ISN'T AS GOOD ANYMORE!!
Not slamming but 10+ fish a night, then people get mad at asians who are eating 100% of their catch and not selling breeders.
Sorry but when I started fishing it was the good old days then slow and crazy 36"+ size limits, then they came back just to get hammered again!
How about taking a couple of fish(any species) once in a while when you will eat them, otherwize enjoy the expereience and leave some for everyone else.
