I think it's terrible that people who keep legal sized fish get heckled so much. There's no reason why a person should get heckled for keeping a legal sized fish. If you turn your legal fish back is your own descision, and it should be respected. By the way, good lookin fish Wolf.

welcome to the forum. nice catch and even better dinner.

i drive a hybrid, practice catch and release oh yeah and my @#$% don't stink. (note the sarcasm)

to be honest with you i think more people should eat more bass, its just something that i think needs to happen more, personally i dont really keep fish, cause i dont like to clean them

Fish is brain food. Turning them loose doesn't take a lot of brains.

This isn't a catch and release forum, so if you catch a limit of nice lmb and plan on eating 'em don't be afraid to show your face. No need to apologize 'bout them fish, unless you wuz usin' a telephone crank to catch 'em. If so, I'd hide my face,too!

Welcome to the fourm, nice fish and they are good eating.

Very nice!!

Nice Catch!!

to each his own! nice catch and they make good tablefare! eaten more than quite a few bass in my lifetime!

I love to practice C&R, but I also enjoy some good bass evey now and then. Good catch wolf.

I see its no different over here. On the thf someone will post a pic of a nice 8 point and someone will dog them for shooting a young deer. The decision to keep a fish or shoot a deer lies with the angler or hunter. Keepers vs trophies sheesh!

I can assure you that many of us, including those of us who moderate this forum have no problem with you keeping your legal catch and doing whatever you want with those fish. Nice Catch! Please don't judge the TFF by a few off the wall comments. We appreciate your pictures far more than we appreciate those who tend to criticize you for keeping them.

My grandfather would kick my @ss if he knew I threw fish like that back in the lake. Good eating, and in these times any free meal is a good meal!

Great catch. Ignore the self righteous. I'm sure you caught their fish that they were going to catch at their lake!
