Killing big fish?

[specktator]

Like " shooting a breeder buck" is a little much. Ppl pay $1000s for those. U can't compare trout to deer.

When are homemade biologist going to stop worrying about the fish population and leave it up to the experts. You aint putting a dent in the fish population with your rod and reel. you just helping keep things in balance. Now go out there and fish, have fun, and quit worrying about keeping a few hundred 5lb trout a year it aint hurting nothing.

Alot of people say "I don't keep any fish I catch, I release them all to swim another day because I have all the fish I want at home" I have a question, how did you get all the fish you want at home? Do you go buy fish at the store to load up your freezer then pay out the anal cavity to put gas in your boat to just go out and pull a fish up then throw it back in? I'm sorry but if I'm paying damn near $3 a gallon to put gas in my boat, I'm going to keep, kill and grill EVERY legal fish I put my hands on no matter who cries or moans and groans about it! Sorry but this is just the way I feel about this whole issue. If you want to throw every fish back that you catch then I'm happy for you. But don't go around trying to make everybody and their momma do it too, especially when alot of us aren't lucky enough to have the opportunity to get out on the water as much as others.

I fish to eat them. I am like Ross, if'n I put money into a boat, I wanna bring something home. Fishing is fun, I know I will never catch enuff fish to pay for the boat, but I have fun. If I don't break any laws, then it is no one's business what I do with MY fish.
I release plenty of Hardheads. I am a conservationist.

Opinions are like anal holes.... everyone has one.. and they all stank....

i agree ray... i release every hardhead and gaftop i catch... I also release big reds, drum, and illegal fish so i practice my own form of conservation... all the rest of you know-it-alls that cry when people keep big fish go whine about it on a Texas board with the other people that care...

A man that has a masters degree in MARINE BIOLOGY told me that the number of big fish a year that get caught is minuscule compared to the number of them out there; and that the real breeding stock is the smaller trout although they carry less eggs than the big one there are many more of them. So maybe we should really be releasing the small trout and only keep the big ones...that would seem to follow with some of you guys logic.

I diffently agree with the right to harvest whatever's with in the the law. So where's all the post of all these big fish and all these limit's fish. Isn't that what this site's purpose is suppose to be? Are is this bashing just something that we do because the fishing sucs?

I agree 110%.......
Problem is the WADE fisherman want the bag limit to be as little as possible. That way, less people will buy boats; in turn, less people on the water which makes it easier for the wade fisherman. I would not own a boat if the limit was 5 fish!
Also, I guess deer hunters should not kill that trophy buck......

[adamsfence]

Wow asr agrees with w.

["W"]

It does seem like waders want smaller limits and boat fishing guys like them the way they are....... We all have our own right to a opinion..... So limit is the limit.......take it or leave it.......Thats your call

[Asterisk-Rich]

i want to bring 15 fish home EVERYTIME i go to big lake...if one of them that i catch would EVER be a 5-9#er i would take pics and measurements and let it go. JUST MY OPINION.SHOOT ALL THE BIG BUCKS YOU WANT.KILL ALL THE BIG TROUT THAT YOU CAN...as long as your within your legal limit i see nothing wrong with it.

Also, the past three years I have fished the Trout Shootout the majority of the fish that were brought were alive! very surprising.

Especially last year I believe 6 or 7 of the top ten fish were released. That tourney REWARDS anglers for live trout brought in and weighed alive. This is a conservation based tourney-to raise money for our estuary, very good cause.

And we know you aren't bashing CCA, but me, but its ok, I can take it. My conservative ways don't go over too well on this board.

And as far as the yo-yos that think a 4 lber is an 8, that will never change. You have trophy hunters who know the difference and will always have some who don't know any better.

I don't knock them, its their fish they caught and its their choice of what to do with it. It is our responsibility as an organization (CCA) to give the angler the option if they want to keep it alive to fight another day.
