big fish advice

[billfish4853]

its a good post by the big lad,nice to see no ones tried to force there point of view in the discussion

dont know what the devil i would do in that situation,knowing it wouldnt go to waste --- knowing it would eat smaller fish---- knowing it would produce lots of fish ---- knowing a flipping trawler might get it tomorrow
knowing it would cost a fortune to get it stuffed



roll on the day i have to decide

hear hear

now stuffing it sounds good would have that on the wall and there are arguments on both sides the feeling to get a fish that size must be amazing but would like to know the pros and cons of killing releasing lol

I'd say it's no good releasing it after you'd killed it and if you're cod fishing, you aren't after stocked carp in a puddle in a farmer's field, so if you're thinking of putting it back before it's on the hook you're in the wrong branch of the sport.

If I caught and released a whopper, with my luck, some other bugger on the boat would, 5 minutes later, catch it, knock it on the head and take all the glory
