Flap, I agree with everything you said. I haven't killed anything in the canal this year.
I ran into 2 jamokes last night that had 3 fish and there wasn't one over 28". I was just releasing a17#er and they were agast that I would put back a fish that "big". They had no idea of what was going on and actually asked me if I thought the fish was over 30#.
The facts are that the vast majority of the guys fishing everywhere (but the canal in particular because of the easy access) have never seen a 30# never mind caught one.
Everyone is entitled to there opinion on keeping fish. I make it a practice of not killing anything under 20# and then only enough for family and a few friends who like to grill it.
Me? I'd rather eat cod any day.
