I saw a guy absolutely mutilate a 20 inch bass this Fall. Eye ripped out, bleeding profusely. I told him to keep it. He said "but it's not legal!" He threw it back and it wash up dead a few minutes later. Do you guys think he did the right thing? I don't. I think he was better off eating the fish than leaving it for the crabs and gulls.
Personally, I release a lot of my fish. I also catch a lot of fish because I put a lot of time in. I also keep some fish for the table. That's one of the reasons I fish. I like eating bass. If that's unsportsman like then, so be it. Just a point of fact. I never keep a fish under 34" and I think that the 2 fish 28" law is stupid.

1) There is no reason to keep 2 fish a day....ever

2) I don't think we should be killing 28 inch fish.

3) I liked it back in the early 90's when the law was one 34".

No boat, back in the suds.
