Opinions On Fishing Memorial Weekend.

I didnt realize how tender this subject is. Everyone i know who have fished for years said that black bass go back. That back in the day people used to keep them to eat, but now if you are hungry you fish for crappie or walleye or whites. I just thought those really were the "rules" . anyway... whatever floats your boat and to each his own.

Thats exactly my way of thinking. These catch and release debates around here are actually pretty funny. It usually goes something like this...............

Someone, lets say his username is CatchnFry will say this

Went down to the local smallie creek. Caught a limit of smallies off there bed. Man did they taste good fried up with Andy's. Only ended up being able to eat one before they spoiled. Fed the rest to my dogs....

Then, someone, lets call them CnRGuy, comes on and says this

How dare you ever keep a bass. Those things are like my pets. I can't believe people like you thinking you can kill as many bass as you well please.

Then Catch n Fry will come back on to respond. It usually sounds something like this

Those bass are just fish. Heck, don't they reproduce every year, its not like were gonna fish them out. Who releases bass, that went out of style years ago? I fry up every one I catch, and it is my god-given right........

And so it goes, the eternal argument.

Off course this was extremely exaggeratting both sides of the argument, but you get the idea. And if anyone on this forum actually has one of the usernames I mentioned jokingly, its purely coincidental :lol:
