On the basis of personal experience and a few forums on fisheries which I visited, the theme of "Liberation Front to keep" seems to be fussy. There are fishermen from both sides of the spectrum who have extreme views in this matter.
Capture and release extremists believe that all fish caught should be released immediately. And if you want to eat fish, you must go to any purchase, rather than a resource exhaustion. These people have one problem with others to keep their legal limit and may even face the fishermen with verbal out-lashes.
On the other hand, there are those fishermen who maintain each unique fish they catch. It doesn't matter if it is a 2 incher or a status register, maintain fish "to eat". However, their freezers are full of them. Many of these fishermen believe that there is no point of fishing if it does not maintain the fish.
Two of these extremes in a room together and are sure to get a fist fight.
What I think? I fall somewhere in the middle. I think that as the fisherman follows the law, which is none of my business if maintaining or free. I think the State fish and game departments to do a good job of determining the limits of fish that you can take. Therefore, really it doesn't matter if you decide to keep each fish catch (within limits) or free them all.
What should I do? I catch and throw around 70% of the time and maintain approximately 30%. It would probably be release all my fish caught because really I don't like to clean up, but my wife can cook. Each fish fishing is a potential gourmet food (bread-Fried trout with orange, mint and fried capers), so you can see why would keep them. Just thinking about it makes me hungry, but I only ate.
In addition, I like the idea of giving my family and have fun at the same time. I'm going to fish and bring food to the table. There is a certain satisfaction I get from.
