WOW ... you guys must live in some pretty bad areas. The lake I live close to is the water supply for a major city about 50 miles away. So I'm guessing the water is pleanty good to eat the fish from.
I'm not real sure what the difference is... keeping yours or some one elses' fish to eat. I've been teaching my family that it is responsible to eat what you catch, unless too small. Just like hunting, you eat what you kill... else don't kill it.
