I only keep a few as well, but I like to release the rest so that the seals are well fed

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I voted for one or two, which was true this year (two), but usually its a couple more (but still not 75% of the catch)

My wife and girls dont like fish, but my parents do, so that is usually where they go.

I throw it all back freshwater and saltwater, never really liked the taste of fish. Fun to catch though.....

I don't eat fish but my wife and mother in law does
Bob, ...ya gotta keep the women in your life happy!...


Next thing you know you C & R guys will start hunting deer with paint ball guns...just wanting to know if you would have hit it...



Seriously, to each his own as long as it's within the law.

Like I stated earlier, I LOVE to eat fish. I was raised on fish. No sob story here but my parents were immigrants and anything that could save money got done. I started fishing reel early in life and now I "owe"...at least I feel like I do.
Nothing beats that feeling of knocking on one of the ol' timers doors holding a nice fresh striper and seeing their eyes light up.
What's that term?.....PRICE-LESS!

I'm such a glutton, I take other peoples' fish.... ...whether they're looking or not.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
