Catch and Release

[hulapopper]

i was just thinking about the pictures of my father and grandfather fishing. big stringers of trout, bass, catfish everything. and i remember fishing with my grandfather and he would throw nothing back. he would even take squawfish and suckers home for his dogs or for compost.

it's interesting how in two generations anglers feel guilty for keeping fish. i personaly don't keep many due to the fact we can't catch halibut and ling cod at brownlee ! not much for freshwater fish. perch excluded however yummy.
