I heard an interesting argument on catch and release a while back while doing CPR tournaments. Just hear me out. If you’re catching and releasing, your putting a fish through agony for simply your own pleasure. If you keep the fish to eat, you are sustaining yourself or whoever. Wouldn’t “environmentalists” or vegans or whoever prefer those who are yanking a fish around to at least be doing it for a purpose rather than pleasure?

I dunno. I let some go, keep most, just food for thought.

I hear ya, but most of the fisheries I fish are substantial different than the ones you're speaking about. 99.9% of what I fish are coldwater fisheries.

I'm not opposed to keeping/eating fish in the right situations. I just don’t get fish places when keeping enough fish to feed the whole family is an option.

In my job I get to interface pretty closely with the Wildlife guys here. They know their stuff and if they have a reg in place, it's for the good of the resource. I would imagine it's the same everywhere. If the fish cops say 25 fish is ok, then you have to trust them.
