For many years I sometimes took dozens of small fish in a single outing using methods targeted at the small stuff. Despite utilizing less lethal methods(single hooks), I put back way too many bleeders for my own comfort, so I avoid numbers fishing for small fish nowadays. Just about all my fishing now is single hook fishing with larger stuff being the target... for whatever that's worth...the fish stocks are quite safe too as I'm lucky to catch a single fish for every three times out.

My apologies for calling you a snob...got a little fired up and probably over reacted. Just love to fish and had some fun catching dinks on Wednesday. All of the sudden I felt (in a different thread) like I should feel bad the fact that I enjoy watching fish blitz and catching a few. So I got a bit defensive when I felt like you were telling me how to fish. Anyway, it's Friday. Thank god.
