RE: Time for a catch and release poll.
I would deffinately keep it and mount it.
If you think you, keeping one 10 pound bass is going to ruin the ecosystem of the fish, that is crazy.
If you say that .01 percent of people in the ever catch a 10 pound bass in their life, and keep it, that will do nothing... And .01 is a big number in my mind for people in the world catching a 10+ pounder.
10 pounds is 1.9 pounds way from the STATE RECORD in Michigan. I can't even imagine the SMALL percent of bass that make it above 10 pounds in Michigan. I would say below .1% of bass in Michigan.
