I have kind of a mixture of all of the above. I used to go fishing with my son quite a bit. We have been cut back to 5 trips a week. 2 freshwater and 3 saltwater. Weather permitting.
We fish for just about anything that bites while experimenting (tackle testing) with new stuff. There is not as much sport in only catching on an old favorite.
The majority of what we catch goes back in the water. Especially Large Mouth Bass. Those are toys.
We can spend hours on end catching Blue Gills on different types of lures, bait and using a variety of presentations. All for fun unless there was a special order placed from our kitchen.
When ocean fishing, we can catch limits of various species in a short amount of time. We only try to keep a big one of the Jackpot contest and only what we can eat for dinner that evening. Frozen fish is not my cup of tea. The fresher, the better.
Regaurdless of wheather we C&R, trophy hunt, selectively harvest, or hook and cook,........We go to have a good time and get away from everything else that is not fishing related.[cool]
