Ha! Lemme at em. In that situation I'd be having beer battered bass tacos nightly.Catch & release has been encouraged among bass fishermen for decades. It just makes sense.
There's nothing wrong with eating fish either. It's all about balance.
Here in WA catch & release is actually causing problems with smallmouth populations in certain lakes. There's too many of the little buggers! Fish & game conservationists want them culled to restore balance with other species.
Wild trout up here are actually considered an invasive species. They displaced the native cutthroat. Some people think they should be culled. I disagree.
