Hook & Cook or................

[Elkhunter]

Catch & Release. Just curious here. Do you usually hook em and cook em or do you practice catch and release?

It depends on what area we are in.Some spots are catch and release only but if we are in a keeper area we cookem up.

Since I pretty much only bass fish and I cant stand the taste of bass I let them go... Trout/salmon are good to eat. and walley are fantastic....

I harvest the little ones so the little ones so the big ones can grow. If it's over 2 pounds it goes back unless it's lmb over 10 then it goes on the wall.

Depends if we'e just fishing or catching. If we're fishing we let em go so we dont have to bother dragging em around all day til we get ack to the truck. If we out for a few hours catching, we got dinner. Myself, and my friends that I'll acknowledge in public are strictly fly fishermen. But we do catch bass, because they'll eat anything. It's bothersome because they take away from our trout catching time. The bass always get thrown back regardless of size.

depends on what im fishing for ?

freshwater : i love speckled perch(crappie) so i keep them, other than that most all freshwater fish get released unless its a bass over 11lbs. all trout get released, although i love to eat trout i hate taking them!

saltwater: we keep alot of the good eaters, like grouper,snapper,seatrout,redfish,dolfin,tuna etc...... and keep a few crappy eaters for cut bait like bonita for shark bait! we also release all billfish period, no exceptions! measure the bill and girth and it goes back A.S.A.P!

If they are to small they go back. Else wise, they go into the freeze.......Or on the barby...or in the smoker...
