Oh and they wouldn't chase you down the beach since bass are legal all year off the beach!

I'm goin to pick this apart. Not to get anyone fired up. Just bored. If everyone broke the speed limit the roads would be a hazard for everyone. There are speed limits to protect you from yourself as well as others from you.
Now if one guy catches, gut hooks, and releases a pre spawn resident bass...eh not the big a deal. If everyone who fishes goes out and severely injures one pre spawn bass each per day then that could add up quickly. I like to think we all care for a to-be-released fish properly but you all know there are plenty of dick heads in NJ that simply don't give a shit. My point is there are rules for a reason. We don't have to all like them. But condoning breaking a rule because you feel the rule is unwarranted is dangerous for everyone.
(I'm not saying anyone is condoning anything either)
