I wonder how many of you would have kept that fish if you caught it when you were 13 years old? It's just a bass, we can grow more.
Now before you go off chastising me, I release every bass I catch, other than the very few that die on me because of circumstances beyond my control. But I don't get mad at someone that wants to keep their limit if they so choose. That's why we have fish and game laws to begin with.
I'm getting tired of people going overboard with the whole catch and release thing. If he caught it in a legal and sporting manner, its his fish to keep. When you catch an 18 lber you can let it go if you want or keep it. Keeping a few every now and then probably helps the population, especially in small lakes like that one.
Rant over, carry on.
Big fish, good for him. ^^^^This

How big is the lake?
I personally choose to catch and release. However, if someone wants to keep fish thats totally up to them.

Big fish, good for him. Apparently from his friends comments, he didn't catch it in "a sporting manner". He scooped up a dead fish and tried to claim he caught it.
