Guys start off killing and keeping everything they catch and move up to stuff like billfish and suddenly look down on anybody that keeps fish to eat.
Obviously, you don't know me and I see you are a minnow on here so I will give you a pass on your statement about me pushing my beliefs on others. I don't care if you keep the fish or throw them back. I simply put this on here to start a discussion. By all means, if you want to keep every fish you catch (within legal limits), keep them.

I simply brought this subject up because me and a few close friends were discussing it and wanted to know what the rest of the people on here thought. If you took that as me pushing my beliefs on you, I sincerely apologize.
