all this about realsing fish dosn't ALLWAYS help some fish should be taken out of a pond or rive or it may become overpopulated with bass.........i have seen countless ponds with ponds and lakes with fish that dont grow over 15 inches because of everyone releasing fish some fish need to be kept
Well yeah... but in this case it obviously is not the situation.and JB you may call us tree hunging hippies but you could realize that we are more interested in there being quality fishing. If you want to keep all the big bass you catch then do it but 1) you would never be allowed access to my private ponds, and 2) you are severely limiting your chances at a trophy fish!
Okay, 1) He wasn't fishing your private pond, and I would never need to fish your private pond. Catching a nice fish out of a pond once, twice, three times a year, year after year isn't a real sense of accomplishment. If that is how you trophy fish for bass then more power to you. I am not here to judge you like you did buckhunter. 2) Keeping one or two fish isn't that big of a deal, and I don't like how people get their panties in a wad on an internet forum over such.
Bottomline, I don't like how people like yourself feel that they have the right to tell anyone else what they can or can't do with the fish they catch. If he isn't fishing on your property then I feel like it is best that you keep your opinion to yourself.
