It is interesting to hear the ethical discussion.... particularly since this guy released two nice sized fish the same day he kept this one.
I've caught and released a number of 24"+ cutts at Scofield over the past year. IMHO, those large fish are vital to winning the Chub battle there.
But I've kept some too -- usually those that break a personal record for me.
Plus they taste great marinated up and BBQed. Speaking of which.... I think I have two last fillets in the freezer for dinner tonight.
What is not discussed enough within the "catch and release" community are the downsides of NOT harvesting in many areas.
