[QUOTE="remm, post: 225634, member: 821"] My initial comment was made both in jest and seriousness as I wondered the same thing after the NWT last weekend. How many gut/gill hooked small fish or fish brought out of deep water were tossed back in and floated away because they weren't large enough to legally weigh or not large enough to be deemed weighable by the fisherman? I know this happens with every tourney (as well as with weekend anglers) at any time of year, but it has to be much worse this time of year on DL with the abundance of small fish that get caught this time of year vs earlier in the year. I by no means am against tourney fishing of any format as I participate in a few every year. Just not a fan of tossing back fish that you know dam well will die (my rose colored glasses see most weekenders/campers keeping these and eating them, much of it evidenced by visiting a cleaning station, rather than tossing back a dead fish). I think it's a good discussion. Edit/Addition: This probably isn't the best place for this topic to be talked about as I wasn't trying to hijack the AIM advertising or single them out- maybe could be moved to a different spot??
