This won't make me very popular here, but i see nothing wrong with this. I've never kept a bass in my life, but as long as a person keeps within the size, limits, and regulations they are completely entitled to keep the fish that they catch themselves. There are regs for a reason, so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor if they want to. That being said, i would have preferred a CPR, and i get why people would get worked up, but they should keep that to themselves because at the end of day your the one who caught a 4lb smallie
