yeah so you have $12,000 worth of fish getting freezer burn or better yet, NOT IN YOUR FREEZER. i bed he either took 50lb of meat and justified the kill by giving the rest away to a shelter or he tried to have it processed and frozen and will lose 75% of the meat in the end anyways.


I've caught a lot of big fish, and released 99% of them. might just be me but I'd rather have a smaller, more manageable amount of meat and a wall full of trophy pics. then again, I'm just in it for the sport and use most peoples dinner for bait.
