Thanks Chuck, they were released as you know I do not eat them, just enjoy catching the bass. I think it is the way we were brought up more than anything else.. Cold Water fish like trout, salmon, and white perch is what alot of us eat up this way. When I catch a big one I normally release it as well though sometimesI will keep one to give to an older person.
