I might keep a stocked trout here and there this year, but most everything gets put back in for someone else to catch.

The only time I will keep any fish that I catch is if it's a Trout or Salmon that I had caught out of a clean fresh water body or if it was a keeper size, salt-water, edible fish. For the most part I tend to snap a picture (when a camera is available) and then release it to be caught again another day! I think we all have to do our part to help manage our waters!

Yup,i never keep a fish,cuz i don't like to eat them.THROW them back so they get to be lunkers,But i do agree with a few people,trout and salmon are ok to take,if you like to eat them

I catch, weigh, measure (length and girth) photo and return, as I try to keep fairly good logs of the fish I catch

I have a mat/bag and keep a bucket of water handy to keep both fish and my hands wet through-out the process which usually takes 1-2 minutes after landing.

I am a big fan of catch and release and I host a derby and workshops on fishing so try to promote good care, of carp..ocean fish when I manage some saltwater action are another story.

I let all fish go. I only keep them if they are gut or gill hooked. Crying or Very sad
