It's not that you keep everything and eat none of it. It's not that you skirt the rules and it's not the fact you kept a lmb for fun. It's the fact that you have family this board doesn't come down hard on you.
WOW! Don't know how to take this post. Did I do something wrong? Please come out and tell me what is really on your mind. I fish every morning. I like to keep in touch with fishing people, and post reports. This is what I do now. My wife and I do eat a few fish now and then. We just ate a 21" rockfish I caught off a pier in Oxford MD. Wed. Is there something wrong with giving my neighbors pan fish? I don't give them rockfish. I release all rockfish, but will keep one to eat if it right size. Pleas tell me what this is all about. I want to see who agrees with you. Thanks! Getting ready to go pan fishing in a little while. Then going to Casino with my wife.

Andy forget him your neighbors eating well and may God bless you for your giving nature keep catching keep keeping and most of all keep sharing real fisherman love to hear the success of other fisherman especially when we can't get out
As long as the fish is not wasted and legal limits are followed...why not help your neighbors? When I go kayak fishing with some of my buddies and I only catch a few keepers of white perch, croakers or speckled trout- not enough for a good mess of fish for me, I ask them if they want to take my catch home with them...added together there are enough fish for a good meal for them and their family...fishing is supposed to be fun and a healthy, sustainable resource for the table...fish species are cyclic and there are years of over abundance followed by years of scarcity...usually caused by fluxiations of baitfish and the health of the fish habitat

I think he might be pissed on the largemouth bass you kept.Most people dont keep them they throw them back for another day is all
Bass fishermen are a strange bunch. I know about bass fishermen. I use to be one until I wised up and got out of bass clubs, and tournaments. I have so many funny stories about bass fishermen. Here is one. Look at these beautiful big bluegills I caught. " OH, I don't fish for them" LOL! Who cares you don't fish for them. I just wanted to show these huge gills. I think more of carp and cat fishermen then bass fisherman. I got to say, not all are strange, but a heck of a lot are. But we have to love them. The Bible tells us so. LOL!

Hey Andy, I enjoy reading your reports & seeing your pics.
I know a lot if fly fishers who treat trout that way. Some get very indignant if trout are killed. I'm a bass angler and don't keep them usually, but for me it's a matter of taste, IMO they're not as good to eat as some other species. I would rather eat White Perch, Bluegills or even catfish than bass. Usually the only time I'll keep a bass to eat is if it's hurt real bad, provided it's legal of course. I like to eat trout too, just never spent a lot of time fishing for them. Hatchery trout I'll keep & eat a few, wild trout I prefer to release them all.
I prefer to release Rockfish too, but have kept a few legal schoolie size over the years to eat. I've never kept one over 25" in the past, even though a few were caught. Personal preference that's all, but won't condemn anyone for keeping any legal size or species of fish if they choose to do so.
Opinions & attitudes are always going to vary.

We don't need this type of crap here, thanks.
Oh com'on andy, fess up, you got out for the same reason I wouldn't ride in my bass fishing friend's glitter boat these days.....the ol' bones just can't take 60+mph like they once could!!!!
LOL! You got that right.Oh com'on andy, fess up, you got out for the same reason I wouldn't ride in my bass fishing friend's glitter boat these days.....the ol' bones just can't take 60+mph like they once could!!!!
Maybe you should take a cue from andypat, get over it, and move on.
I'm confident in saying he ain't gonna be talking about what happened to him for as long as some have been carrying on about TidalFish on another popular website out there. No need to bring any of that here, but all indications are that you have some reason stuck in your inner self to do so.
What happened to him, and what you say happened to you, goes on in every (fishing) website out there. Shame it happened to you. I enjoyed your contributions and reports. Also enjoyed reading andy's adventures.
Now those reports are gone, and for what reason? Maybe this can explain it better than I can:
