This is why if I ever catch a cow no one will know but those really close to me and the taxidermist! Yes you read that right I will hang a 50# or more and not bat an eyelash over it. Every fish I have ever kept (and no that number doesnt equal everyone I ever caught) has gone in the cooler, frugally filleted and consumed ...not wasted.
I feel everyone is in fact entitled to their own opinion. BUT if you fish (I assume everyone here fishes?) and even if you have never kept a single fish you ever caught..... you have most likely still killed fish and that certainly is a thought to be pondered. No one here can claim that every fish they released has survived as it would have if it was never caught at all. Did you get get bacteria on it? Did it suffer and die 3 months later because infection? Did it spread that infection to other fish? There is no way of knowing.
