Great points Tk. Catch and release is imperative for our pastime of fishing to survive. I love to catch limits because a great fishing story begins with "we caught our limit", it should be "we caught our limit, released most and kept a couple to eat." I know too many fishemen with fish from last year in the freezer still. I sure hope it doesn't get thrown out. If you kill it, eat it. Greed will kill our sport. Farm raised is a great concept too. It would force the raping comercial fishermen to stop turning our precious fish into cat food. I have been told walleye over 23 inches get sold to cat food companies. I'm sure there is at least a speck of truth to it. Think of the spawning fish we lose to catfood. Criminal! By all means, if a fish is foul hooked and might die keep it, even a bass. It just takes so long for a smallie to reach any significant size. If anyone must keep one, make it on the smaller side. Throw back the trophies and get a permamount or certificate. I hope our fellow fishermen listen to us Tk. Great ideas and conservation. keep it up and pass it on.
