there are a lot of fish that make better table fare than bass, my favorites are crappie/specs/soc au lait, and jacks/sauger (or in your case grinnel or bowfin[:-]J/K), but i got no problem with people keeping "some" fish, just dont go crazy or be stupid...i don't even like to see people get stupid or crazy catching bream, shellcrackers, or crappie, take waht you can use, but don't take it home and let it ruin in the frezzer[:@][:@][:@][:@]

short story for entertainment puposes only, was at a ramp one day and a young guy came in, had a nice limit of 2.5-4 pound bass, he asked a guy if he wanted them, guy says all of them???? sure, kid yea i'll just come back this afternoon and catch some for myself[:@], so i went over and flashed a card i keep it my wallet, it looks real official, and questioned him about what he just told the man he had given all his daily limit of fish too, i told him i would be watching for him on the river kid was shaking like a leaf on a tree

i have not seen him at that ramp since[:-][&:]
