Trout Population????

[catch_and_release]

I just wish people would only keep fish they intend to eat soon. Too many times have I seen people catch a limit keep everything they catch and on their way home they start making phone calls to people they know "Hey man I tore-em up today want some fish?" or "Hey you want some fish I've got a freezer full already and I aint got no room for these." Too many people feel obligated to keep the fish they catch. Instead of huntin down somebody to take the fish off of your hands why not throw them back let-em live to fight another day. Or some people will keep fish, freeze them and eat them 9 months later, why not just throw them back. There's a-lot of fish out there, but I do think the angler can have a detrimental effect on fish populations.
