[QUOTE="honkerslayer, post: 257320, member: 1028"] Fair questions! I didn’t think I was being selfish, but maybe I was. It’s not jealousy. I caught plenty and have caught many over 20lb and never kept one. Do I like catching them? Absolutely. I just like the idea of taking a pic and letting them go so someone else can experience it as well. Just because I like how it makes me feel to do that, it shouldn’t determine how others should feel or how the fishery should be managed. The point about the fishery being able to absorb it is a really good point. It is an amazing fishery and we are lucky to have it. I think there are more and more people all the time practicing selective harvest and I think that’s a good thing. It doesn’t mean they have to, but a choice. Our resources get more and more pressure all the time and I just want them to stay that way. Thanks for the honest opinions! [/QUOTE]
