For What Reason Do You Not Release

[bob46]

I believe Ive only eaten bass twice in my life, one I caught and one someone else caught I let them go, I do not mount fish either If they are bid I kiss them on the head and send them on their way. Like the ohter guy said long as there legal. I like crappie walleye and blue gill.

i release everything i catch because im to lazy to clean them. joking but the only thing i keep is panfish stripers or eyes and any bigmouth over 10 wich i have never caught or smallies over 7 never caught one of those either my walls are bare.

The first part is pretty much me. I'm too lazy to deal with cleaning them.

I'll bet I haven't kept a fish in over 3 years and in the summer time I'm mostly fishing for catfish and crappie.

As for putting one on my wall, I probably will never do that. I'm not really a fan of hanging them on the wall - a picture is good enough for me. Also, I'll probably never catch one big enough

I like to eat fish, I will keep most of my fillet size pan fish, and smaller spotted bass. I dont think bass taste that good, and will not clean a catfish. All my musky have been returned, but you alwayssee guys holding musky that arenot trophy fish, and they go home. As for wall mounts,my first 7+ lmb was the same as a car payment. I wouldn't do it again. My son has about six thousand bucks worth of wall mounts, and a cousin of mine at least double that amount.Why? But anyone who wants totake anykind of fish home as long as its legal has that right. and I'm not against it.I'm also for closed seasons on spawning native fish, did it for years, and still fished for othjer species. It worked for yrs. But new thinking has led to outting a spawning fish in a live well, dragging it all over and relesing it miles away, has caused problems in some northern lakes. I wonder what will happen to all those wall mounts when my cousin dies, probably a dumpster,his wife raised heck when they found out how much it cost to move them. My sons sit in his lake house, alone and for sale with the other furnishings. Mine, got crushed in moving, along with a costum loomis rod, niether has been replaced.

did you not get a new rod blank from g loomis for $50.00?
