When some one posts a picture of a fish they are sharing their joy in catching it but also basking in the praise and recognition it engenders. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but deciding to kill a large breeder bass has consequences for many other people. Something well worth remembering.....and being reminded of from time to time.
It strikes me how once upon a time dead fish pictures were the norm in the freshwater bass fishery........and now they are a rarity (and something of an embarrassment). Same can be said for saltwater dead billfish pictures. So why is it that dead striped bass pictures are still so popular?
A dead fish is a dead fish. It may benefit you, but it isn't benefiting anybody else. Once that may not have mattered. Today the fishery is under enough pressure that possibly it does.
Fish responsibly.
