The Nebe challenge.

[chefchris401]

I'm in. Pretty much what I do every year.

Broke my personal best numerous times last year and all released.

Kept two fish, both of which wouldn't have made it.

Someone has a sig that says something about Practicing CPR, catch, photograph and release.

don't know how often or how many fish some of you catch,but i know what i catch and kill accidently is a lot more than a few fish a year. i fish mainly wooden plugs,crush the barbs and never use a treble in the back.every season i have a good number of fish inhale my plugs to the point of no return. i also fool hook a good number of fish in the gills,often the rear hook will rip a good chunk out of the side.i know bass are pretty hardie,by the scarred ones i have caught,but if i really thougth the bass were in trouble i wouldn't fish for them peroid.so i guess i am not in

[Adam_777]

Not in.If I'm lucky I'll keep 1 or 2 every 3-4 years.Maybe if I stumble upon one I'll keep it.Most likely I will catch none like usual.I'm more of a trying to fish man rather than a fisherman.I try and usually fail miserably and persistently.Stripers wish most fisherman were like me.

this would be a good thread for the bladder puncture technique
for releasing fish with an inflated bladder

When was the last time you caught a Striper with an inflated bladder?

I'll admit my bladder was pretty inflated after drowning my sorrows in my beers last night.

But I ain't gonna puncture my bladder.

you don't sleep well on a belly full of beer, more like pass out until sober

hardest or i should say slowest thing to digest is beer

i snore like a wild boar on just ONE....

maybe his/her bladder wasn't inflated but watching it float down the bass river because legally it had to be released at 27 inches long
bothered the heck out of me as i watched a sea gull land on it and begin the feast.... but regulations must be followed

Next season I pledge to release all the striped bass I can...

Who else will pledge this??

I'll kill sea bass if legal and I want some so I can't be in

I released all but one striper last year
I don't need any challenge to be conservative

[BigFish]

I know the ones I am going to keep are not going to make it!!

Eben I keep maybe 6-8 fish a season as I do enjoy eating it very much. None goes to waste I can tell you that. I have nothing but a healthy respect for the fishery and do my best to preserve it.

[animal]

Yeah,uhm,I haven't kept any bass for myself,or others, for a couple years.Plus I don't fish tournaments.So,I guess I'm still not in,since I MAY fish commercially for them this year.We'll see.

[Jackbass]

I'm in I never keep fish. So it would be pretty much standard practice for me.

Sorry Dude.....I like to keep a couple a season.....pretty much the 1st keeper I get every year is going to the grill.

that being said I do release the majority of what I keep.

[JLH]

I’m out but will continue to release the majority of my fish. I think I kept about a fish a month last season and will probably keep around that number this year as well.

[JackK]

I think it would be more of a challenge if you had to eat every bass you caught in a season. Now that would be tough.

I've been strictly catch and release on stripers since I was 16. I can count on one hand the number of bass I've taken since then, and all of those were ones that wouldn't come back after my best efforts to let them go.

It's pretty awesome watching a big fish swim away into the darkness.
