If you're so against coming in with 15 dead bass per charter and know that a lot of the fish will go to waste, then maybe you should stop doing charters. According to you, you can catch big fish whenever you want to - you've posted your slips. So, you're part of the problem.

You're trying to play both sides of the coin and it doesn't work like that. It also makes it impossible to take you seriously when you talk at all about conservation. Either you fish commercially and run charters allowing people to take their max keep, or you're think killing that many fish is wrong with a lot of it going to waste and you stop doing charters. Sometimes you argue for both positions in the same post and are continually contradiction yourself.

Pick a side.
