I hate being the first one to disagree with anything buttttt....... my veiws on this matter are different.

If you take a ride during the commerial season down to the fish houses you'll see 100's of pounds of 20's, 30's and 40# fish, proably many of the same bass that we often throw back. I know two wrongs don't make a right but what I choose to keep or release is up to me as long as I obide by our laws. I never counted how many bass I release vs. the # kept but I can honestly say I throw back far more then I keep.

I too am guilty of being young and dumm keepin more then I should but now times has changed, we are allowed to keep two fish for a reseaon. If you happened to sit through Charlie Soars Semiar this week end, thats one of the things he touched on. I too was brought up eating fish and my family also has. As long as I'm not wasting there is no guilty feelings here. Also, there are those who want to come across as " I am holyer then thou" or is it they just to burnt out or lazy that after fishing they don't want to bother cleaning fish.
