I guess, by your rules, I am not in.
I probably keep one fish every three years...about half the time it is a gill bleeder that ain't gonna make it, the other half of the time it is a nice, new personal best type fish that I plan to weigh and eat. That second category is declining over time, as unlike lots of sharpies on this board I'm not catching 40lb bass or larger from the shore on a regular basis.
In the interim I release many, many legal fish....I've gone two full seasons in a row releasing every fish I catch.
In the end, everyone has to be able to look in the mirror and feel like what they do is right for them. I'm comfortable that keeping one fish every three years or so won't leave the blood of a declining fishery on my hands.
