IMHOP the issue is more about how folks were introduced to fishing than anything else. You can't blame folks for hording, harvesting, catching & eating, or whatever you may call it. Many anglers/fishermen starting out fishing, started out wrong. "I'm going fishing to get a meal". Sometimes, its for themselves, family or even friends. I rather teach a person to catch their own than bring them a bunch of fish I caught.


Imagine if those of us who fish pretty frequently always kept our limit every time out that would be devastating here in NJ. When I show people pictures of where I went, and tell the stories of what I did all they say is nice pic's but did you eat the fish or who did you give them too?

P.S. Just because its legal doesn't always mean its right. It's your choice and if your following the rules I can't be mad at you, but don't expect me to listen to your bickering about a lack of fish around.
