This isn't direct to you since you don't keep bass but....
How do all the people that say not to keep big fish, but keep small ones, know that some of those 1-3 lb fish aren't on their way to being a trophy? Do they have some sort of DNA test kit on their boat? So you know if a bass will always just be a dink! And then you can eat it.

And again, young bass also spawn. So
Still missing something I guess.

Tens of millions of fish slaughtered every year so their filets can be sold in grocery stores. That's Ok. One poor dude who gets to fish a few times a year catches and keeps a big bass and post about it online somewhere..... Get scolded that he is a terrible sportsman. Lol

But if this thread would have been someone's fishing report we would not have allowed the negative comments. Just to make that clear.

90% of the ppl I know and fish with do the same. Just always figured it was normal. Guess we are the minority..

I've heard that keeping trout between 18-24" is actually more harmful to the spawn than keeping a 30" sow.

So, been having a camp up here (Toledo Bend) for 20 yr's won't cut a fish over 4 - 9 lbs. because I don't have to. Still end up with plenty for fish fries and personal use, catch a trophy, 10 lbs. plus I'm gonna mount it! Got 2 on the wall now 9/15 & 9/8. Hoping for the lake record, guess where it's going! Some of ya'll are totally missing the point in my situation. BassLivesMatter, unless it's a mount, of 10 lbs. plus, otherwise we're gonna release it, at our boathouse in our cove.

if you catch one over 10 pounds on Toledo remember you can take it to several weigh sites and get a free replica, and the bass gets to live another day!

I'd do the replica mount on a 10 or better, I know it's not gonna be Steve German quality, but it's free.

What pisses me off about toledo bend is all them 13"ers you catch. I've been doing my part to cull them genetics. Every fish I catch under 14" gets thrown on the bank.
