I love to bass fish and to fish for trout, crappie and etc... (FYI - I hate fishing for catfish, although I love eating them!) but I don't get catch-and-release, if I catch it, I want to eat it - why go fishing just to catch fish and release them? Now, of course, if it is a fish that isn't in season or isn't big enough or etc... I don't have a problem with letting it go but I won't go fishing if we aren't planning on catching fish that we can bring home! This is where I differ from a lot of the hard-core fishermen out there.

We ran across a DNR guy while we were in Kentucky. They were doing a survey as to what we were catching, how many, how many we were throwing back, why we were not keeping the smaller bass. In his words "they are good eatin'". Mark's reply, "I'll save them for you". Good news for you. We ran across a DNR guy while we were in Kentucky.
