Yep, I'm one of those dasterdly fly fishermen who tell folks to let 'em go. I confess that's partly because I want everyone to get a shot at catching a bunch with as many as possible still in the ponds.

But honestly, who on this forum actually believes that a fish that has spent all of it's life living in an overcrowded tank eating pellets, and each other's droppings, is going to taste better than wild speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sacalait, bream, bass, white bass, catfish, etc?

Give 'em a couple weeks in the ponds, then take 'em home. They taste a lot better!
