I'm NOT FOR OR AGAINST taking fish to eat! I don't have a problem with anyone taking some fish to eat, to each his own.
I fish both fresh and salt water and Do occasionally take fish to eat but normally always release them.
I understand both sides of the coin. My issue is people who load their BUCKETS with anything and everything they catch totally disregarding the law and people who take TROPHY FISH just because they caught it and wanna to parade it around and then it ends up in a trash can! I agree with one of the previous posts I think catch and release is practiced more in fresh than salt and I think that is what helps keep the fishery going. I think that a lot of anglers think that saltwater fish are a never ending source and that is definetly not the case, any fish can be harvested to near extinction especially when your taking the breeders!!! How much you spend shouldn't determine whether you eat it or not! Not looking to preach just my opinion!
