Thanks Josh, you just provided me with a great New Year's resolution. Today, I am probably smarter than a few humans but smarter than fish? Not yet. I will be working on that.

On the serious side. You speak the truth when you talk about voluntarily setting reasonable personal take limits. There was no way in hell that I would have released the WSB that I caught a couple weeks ago. It was my first and it was a really big deal to me personally. On the other hand, if the fishing gods had smiled on me and granted another hookup that day, the second fish would absolutely have been returned to sea.

I am fairly certain that most of our fellow kayak fishers share your view on this subject. To those who don't, we can only hope that enlightenment is in the near future.

Amazing how small one feels in the presence of Gods' creation

Well done brother,
and some wise words to those willing to listen.
Alas, the 50,000 members you speak of would likely miss the point of this post, but we can only hope.

Thanks for the good read, and the good knowledge.

Next time I visit LJ it will be on paddled plastic and will be much more discretionary when I post.I regret having caught my first T-shark from my skiff instead of my Kayak and then posting it for potential riff raff to see.Although after fishing LJ for 2 years and only catching my PB calico and barracuda,bonita and no 'Glory' fish(YT or WSB from the yak)I felt like I needed to post a catch for some reason(Show off I think)I also now realize why people feel post T-shark depression and realize 1 a year (at MOST)is VERY important seeing how they could be so easily exploited.

Josh great post and theme...
