[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5827692, member: 11842"] I have made this argument before about fishing to catch your limit for dinner, then go home and boy has it been like kicking a hornets nest. The last thing a trout fisherman, or a tournament bass fisherman wants to hear is that it is, in fact, NOT good for conservation to catch 50 fish a day. Regardless of whether you kept your limit of 5 or so of those fish. Multiple times last Fall I got into redfish in a creek really good on the coast of SC. I would catch 5 or 6 to come up with my limit 2 within the slot of 15-23 inches, then leave. If I wanted to, I could have stayed there for another few hours and probably caught 30+ redfish, but why? Just to brag? People like to keep a willful ignorance of catch and release mortality. Just because a fish swam away doesn't mean it is still alive. This is especially true with trout which are probably the most sensitive fish God ever created. When I lived in TN I used to love fishing in the Caney Fork. Once I had the 5 fish I wanted to keep, I stopped fishing. It just isn't important to me to keep catching them. At that point we're treating fish like a toy for our entertainment, at the expense of the fish, rather than treating it as a source of food that should be treated with respect. [/QUOTE]
