release or grease

[azdesertrat]

i know with allot of fishermen that focus on a specific species it is kind of looked down apon to catch and eat ie bass fishermen and those of us that chase those big flathead i was wandering if this is the case among crappie fishermen aswell? personally i make no bones about being a catch and grease fishermen when it comes to crappie and bass

Where I live its not frowned on keeping some Crappie to eat,most people do.We usually will fish once a week and will keep enough for a nice meal and release the rest,this gives you a good reason to go out the next weekend to catch some for the fryer.

I do both, release and grease. and have done so for a long time. However, as I get older and the number of I catch keeps going up, I've found I just don't want to fool with cleaning, disposing, cooking, etc, except every once in a long while....so now I usually release or give 'em away.

These days I much prefer eating saltwater fish purchased at our local grocery store vs. eating any freshwater fish. The quality is so much better. So, I'm strictly a CPR fisherman these days.

Same here. I would trade every crappie in the lake for ten pounds of grouper fillets.

Or Snook, Flounder, Sheephead, Dolphin, Cobia, Wahoo, Kingfish, Spanish Mackeral, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, well you get the idea.

Both bring home enough to eat and give neighbors some and release a lot to
