Not only was jc perfectly within his rights in keeping those fish, it seems like he was also acting responsibly. He kept four smaller fish for an immediate need, i.e. dinner for six people. He didn't keep everything he caught, he didn't keep his limit just because he could, he didn't pile more dead fish into an already stuffed freezer. For those who do wish to keep fish to eat (and there are quite a few), this is the kind of behavior that needs to be encouraged.

I don't keep bass to eat, mainly because I don't like the way they taste. But I applaud the hell out of guys like jc that approach fish consumption the way he does. No matter how much hate some of you guys are giving him, he has my full support!
