What did you accomplish today?

Catch & release has been encouraged among bass fishermen for decades. It just makes sense.
There's nothing wrong with eating fish either. It's all about balance.
Here in WA catch & release is actually causing problems with smallmouth populations in certain lakes. There's too many of the little buggers! Fish & game conservationists want them culled to restore balance with other species.
Ha! Lemme at em. In that situation I'd be having beer battered bass tacos nightly. :)

Wild trout up here are actually considered an invasive species. They displaced the native cutthroat. Some people think they should be culled. I disagree. :)

I'll have to check, but I think the smallies here contain more heavy metals than other species -- especially larger fish. If I recall, there was a warning in the regs for pregnant women.
Maybe that's why people aren't keeping them...? Dunno.
If I'm fishing for meat in a lake, I usually go after yellow perch. They are awesome to eat (related to walleye) and there's no limit on size or quantity. Extremely easy to catch, they are known for knocking the paint off of lures. Crappie would be better, but they can be finicky as hell.

I can fucks with some crappie. We would pull a shit ton the first year I moved in here. Then I just kinda stopped fishing.

I just got the keys to my new house today. I'm gonna miss living on a lake. This is an upgrade(minus the lake of course) but there is a bigger and better stocked lake VERY close to my new house so no biggie.

Anywho, I've been moving all day and I'm ready to smoke dammit! I just hope this bowl doesn't drain all the energy outta me. I'm already pretty tired... meh fuck it. Slam another beer and then get back to hauling shit.

So for the record, you assholes will see me more often after we get settled in.

If you were GWN you could put that bracelet on your dog, they'd never know the difference.
I couldn't even walk to the edges of my property without it sounding off. The mother fucker hurt too! First time on house arrest. When the dude put it on, i was like oooohhh yeah, no biggie. The next day and on it seemed like my ankle got bigger and bigger. Fucker hurt! :-(

No more partying at feather falls casino for me guys. The mother fuckers cut me off(i was up $3000+ on the blackjack tables, ready to make it 10K). Fuckers whatched me leave didn't say a thing and called the cops on me. Mother fucking popo was waiting for me on my way home. What a fucking joke. Weakest dui I've ever gotten too. .12. What a fucking joke.

Still love it, even after it causing the WORST hangover of my life. Burst a blood vessel in my eye puking so hard.

That's what getting into a pony keg of it at 9 am at summer camp fest will do to you.

iv drip from medic station and was back at it the next day.

Ohh to be 25 again
