I am a catch & Release guy, I don't keep any fish. I caught and released 122 legal bass this past season, 22" small mouth the largest. I keep a fishing logue every year.

@twhite101 seriously, get used to it, its life and thats what people do, you gotta nice catch like this u wanna mount it or eat it, or some people may let it go... btw u have no clue what they did with it..

@twhite101 This C&R is now coming over to Germany, where it is striktly prohibited. Fish are no "toyz for big boyz". If I go fishing , I prefere "Catch and EAT", and I don´t take more as I can eat! Why you Americans spread bullshit and war all over the world? Keep it in your stolen country, we don´t need it!

@jangus894 That fish was at least 30 years old, if not more.

Very cool... I'm glad to hear that! I know other captains that fish out there that don't share the same conservation mindset. I hope that will change with time. Thanks for your reply.

i live in faroe island and i am knowed to catch big trouts, butt that one beats all i have ever caught. my biggest 7,8 Kg, got it in my first trow
It sure would be nice to see some of these big fish released... Killing them is only going to destroy the rock fishery. Not only are you harvesting major spawners but also you're taking out the genetics that make the rock fishery so amazing! I wish more people understood this. Everyone has an excuse for killing these fish (i.e. wouldn't survive if released, mounting, etc.). The truth is lake trout can be released if played slowly and replicas beat a dried out skin mount any day!

@twhite101
If you want to see the fish being released all you have to do is go fishing with us. All of the big ones go back with 2 exceptions: 1) if the fish dies, which is pretty rare; or 2) if the guy wants to get it mounted, which is also rare.
