WOW, some "think" Ky has poor fishing, glad those who have caught record or near record fish here didn't know that, smallmouth, walleye, musky, and stripers come to mind right off the bat, the large crappie in Ky and Barkley lakes , and claim "poor fishing" ..........LOL

Kentucky is not number one on some species, but there are MANY states who would love to have the variety and quantity, quality of fish we have, I am certain most members here know this to be true.

Fish were made to eat, that is why God made them out of meat (and SO tasty) if you wish to practice C&R that is your right, just as it's others rights not to do so...... IF everyone did the same exact things, that is where the issues would arise... to each his/her own I say!
