To guys who don't always catch 30 pound fish on their outings, a 34 inch fish may be a nice fish to them...why ruin their day by saying..."oh, inches"? After catching some 30 pound fish, their mind-set will change and they will classify them differently. I always say "nice job" to someone proud of their catch, whatever size (legal).
People fish for different reasons, I'll leave it at that.
On a different note - I side with nightfighter
I fish for FOOD along with enjoyment. I LOVE eating fish. I have NEVER taken a bass home that didn't end up getting eaten. I have NEVER wasted fish...To this day, my father will NOT fillet a fish, he believes too much gets wasted. He scales them, guts them, and chops em up. The head goes into a large pot for stewing...he claims the cheeks on a bass's head are "to die for". One shouldn't judge another based on what they think is a nice fish. IMO -
