so if i buy bass or stock my own pond with them i shouldn't be able to harvest them because us bass fisherman think it's wrong?Maybe he is cutting back on his grocery bill,if so then i don't see em being wasted.If some aren't eaten or kept then they'll just die so what's the difference.besides if they came from barren nolin or rough he had his limit legally,if there were 15 strung up then that's different.i don't keep lm or sm usually but i don't think we should bash or hang who prefer to keep them.maybe he don't like gills there are some things we prefer to eat over others.jmo
