Just stay safe out there whatever you decide to do, it's all legal after all.

Agreed Ed. I am just stating my opinion and what I will do. Understand it's legal but that doesn't make it right if fish die without being harvested and used for food.
I also agree that I've done this long enough so I don't have anything to prove and that does tend to open your eyes to reality.

God know I've killed more than my share of big fish, little fish, and everything in between. Last year I killed none intentionally, year before 2. I like to believe that everything I released survived but I'm certain there is a %age of collateral damage.

No boat, back in the suds.
