I've said it a million times, whether you like to eat fish sometimes, always, or never...the BIG ones are worth more in the water, plain and simple.

^^THIS! I went to franklin lakes nature preserve near William Paterson this past weekend and saw a guy with a full stringer of largemouth bass. at least 4 of them, all probably 1.5 - 3 pounds a piece. Such a shame to see, do largies even taste good? I get that everyone is entitled to their fair share but come on, let em go so they can grow.
