Atleast he caught them with a rod and reel, not a cast net... Ive seen people do that.. 30 fish in 20minutes hauled out. No sport in that

As long as it is within the law I don't see a problem. Another thing to consider is it could be a cultural thing. I'm half Chinese and every time I tell someone in my family (Chinese side) that I release the fish after I catch it they get mad at me. We by no means need the fish to survive, but they still think it's odd to let it go.

Also that being said LMB is pretty tasty, I catch and release 95% of the time but every now and then it's nice to eat something that you catch

I grew up on a farm (which is a culture in and of itself) and my mom thinks I'm crazy that I release most of my fish too.  I will keep a stringer of sunnies every once in a while so that elevates my "status" a little.  But mostly she just thinks I'm nuts.

LOL, C&R threads.....

 

Food stamps, spot burning?  This is entertaining.

Call in sick(if you are really dedicated just quit your job) and sit in your boat and follow him around all day long. Get a drone(you can get a cheap one for a few hundred dollars) and put it over his head  and shoot pictures of him.  If you get a good enough drone you can tell the difference between a keeper and one that is a half inch short..   After you have collected a bunch of photos send it to the law game warden and have his butt hauled to jail.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. My family is big on catfishing. They go out catch a mess of fish and have a fish fry. They know I prefer bass fishing but when I come back without a stringer they all talk major smack. Why spend the money? Why waste the time? They don't understand. I C & R because I'm fishing for sport not food and because I'm lazy. I just tried LMB for the first time this year and it was delicious. I still haven't kept any and prepared them myself but the next time I want some fish I won't hesitate to keep a few bass. Tight Lines.

Read an article about the Spring River in LA......many people have fished it for food since the late 1700's and their descendants do it today despite the pollution. No amount of pressure from DFW about the danger stops them....the river is so clear and beautiful they don't believe it could hurt them.

And don't forget to post the pictures or video of him on here so we can see if he is a member on here ,if he is ,when can then ridicule him mercilessly and egg his house for halloween (oops posted too late)

I think you might have your rivers mixed up, or at least I need to see the link to the article.

 

never once have I heard this.

I have literally eaten HUNDREDS of trout out of that river my entire life...... And never once have I heard of pollution.
