Check this out!! The article below is interesting and makes a lot of sense when dealing with fish or any other animal:

Throw the big ones back, fishing study suggests http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/fishing_dc

Commercial and sport fishing destabilizes fish populations by targeting the biggest, oldest fish and leaving younger fish to proliferate too wildly, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

They said fisheries should in fact encourage the taking of smaller, younger fish instead of requiring that they be thrown back.

Keeping the big one is like a Texas rancher walking out into the pasture and shooting his best herd bull and best cows. That would leave the lesser animals to carry on the species.
