Discussion: Culling Fish

[DarkSkies]

I know why people do it, and those of ya who know me know my opinions on it.

I want to hear what you folks think of it.....

Is it ever acceptable?
Why do guys do it?

Is it morally wrong?
Does it violate any fish and game laws?

Thanks for your opinions, people. :HappyWave:

Culling definition:

When you are fishing, and throw back a smaller fish because you just caught a bigger fish.
(Or give it to the guy on the rocks next to you)

The one thrown back is usually dead, and a waste of a resource.

:2flip:Yeah but it boosts egos and gives people in some clubs more points to get a stupid plaque that says angler of the year:2flip: This goes on allot on piers and docks also if they don't keep them all. Everyone wants to be in the paper or on the internet.
