Trout fishermen feel that way about trout, walleye guys feel that way about walleyes, guys get blasted for keeping legal stripers, catfish, etc. Every species of fish has someone who puts their fish above all else. The regs are in place for a reason, and those who abide by them deserve to be respected. Blast away at the guy for breaking the law, but to equate a bass with a bald eagle? Seriously?
