I promote C/R for alot of things
Of course, I do too. I very rarely take a fish. Wether its FW or SW I always catch and release unless the fish is doomed. But I would never bash anyone for doing what they want and is perfectly legal. Now if I owned a lake that would be a different story. But if someone paid for his fishing liscense and is fishing a public lake then do what you want [up]
 
The one post said "bust their bleeder". Is that the gills? I kept a couple a few years back,, the meat was nice, white & flaky but tasted like seaweed. With the price of food going up,, hell, I may start eating tree rats also!
 
everyone is so wrapped up in catch and release theses days. catch and release is great but i mean cmon, theres freaking largemouths everywhere! EAT THEM! they taste good! plus they stock them just like smallies, channels, musky, pike. fish are meant to be eaten. so ENJOY! plus its healthy.
 
Who here in NJ has noticed that there are any less Bass where they fish??? Not me. In most places there are even too many...This is not an issue to me, as most guys Catch and Release anyway. Enjoy the fish!! [up]
 
The water temp is only 40 degrees bass won't spawn till 1st week of may in north jersey.
Water temps are way higher than 40 degrees, and have been for weeks. Smallies have already started making beds in some smaller bodies of water where water temps have hit 60 degrees in the shallower coves. With the way temps have been this winter and early spring, majority of bass will be spawned out by he end of April.
