It's not just ONE person keeping ONE fish, all of you guys that are defending the guy I guarantee you have kept plenty of 3,4,5 lb bass. If you are wanting to eat fish I don't mind that at all, just quit fishing for LM, SM and spots to eat. Hell go fish for crappie, bluegill, catfish, or stripers. Much better to eat and grow a lot faster then LM or SM. a 4-5lb LM is an old fish and if you idiots keep on keeping them because it was your first BIG fish then give me a break like there won't be a problem down the road. It's just sad that I look on this website continuously and see people posting pictures of a 5 lb plus LM and it's at your house in the drive way because you kept it. Same story every **** time, "it's my first really good LM and I only kept ONE" Give me a break, I've heard all the BS before. People that keep 5 lb plus largemouth, it isn't there first rodeo. I haven't read any scientific articles about keeping 5 lb plus largemouth is a good way to harvest a lake. The guy kept the biggest fish and threw all the small ones back, makes ZERO sense. You guys defending this guy probably are the biggest problem with lakes. You guys strictly go out there to eat anything and everything you catch. You talk about slots and it being legal for him to keep it, but I'd say the fish and wildlife probably think you guys have some sort of common sense and wouldn't keep a 5 lb plus fish. But just like every law that is invented, it's to help you idiots with no common sense live in society.
