Default Re: 2016 Skillful Angler Awards

I noticed there are quite a few more catch-and-release submissions than killed submissions. I wonder why that is?

I would like to believe it's because skilled anglers know the value of releasing big fish to pass on their superior genetics and make other anglers happy.

I hope it's not because the requirement that the fish be weighed on a certified scale causes anglers to falsely claim they released the fish when they actually didn't.
