Gillnets. I just don't believe any of the gillnetters are going to pull a 14# bass out and say to themselves, "Wow, this may be a Potential State Record one day... I'd better throw it back."
They are going to sell the fish along with all the other fish they've caught and the unknowing consumers like you and me will eat them in our McDonald's fish sandwich next week.
I thought the gillneter were catching fish for fish oil, not to sell fish for eating... They might be eating some of the fish, But the fish camp is cooking down the fish for oil.
One of the guides told me that the fish they catch in the nets are not for US products. I know this is second hand info but has anyone else heard of this before? Thanks for the info.
