Thanks..

I used the term "dichotomy" because I am double minded myself.. On one hand, I almost always throw back my best and biggest fish.. Yet not long ago, I kept a giant SMB.. For WHAT???.. I have no answer... I have felt awful ever since.. The big old girl should still be swimming in Keuka lake...

I hate tourneys, yet i always enter the pool on a head boat.. Even split a pool last sunday.. Its a competition right???... Same as a tourny.

I am a conservationist, but yet I have had many full cooler/full bucket days over the decades, and was looking for people to take fish from me.. Not often, but still guilty nonetheless.

I am part of the double mindedness, and not proud of it.. I throw a lot of fish back, most fish actually, but still have the need to drag tails home sometimes..... I guess I am trying to find out if there's something wrong with me, or if its a common theme a lot of us share... bob
