Bothers me too, and I hate to say this bit I'm sure some of those fish didn't go back. I think there should be a course with a similar process like getting a boating license, completing a bunch of chapters on laws, limits, fish handling and even a section on proper catch and release.

bigugli Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 No sense writing more complex regulations for a ministry that is grossly understaffed for enforcement. Then the courts need to hand out punishments and fines with real impact. Kinda like they do in them thar Southern states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bothers me is that they do such a poor job of handling the fish that even though they released they might as well have kept them. There is more to catch and release than just tossing the fish back in the water. Like this fellow (from a totally unrelated forum) who claimed to have released this 10lb walleye. Never mind the blood pouring from the gills and internal organ damage from hanging a large fish from it's mouth. Probably became crayfish food shortly after this photo, but he practiced 'catch and release'. Rant over. Let's get this back on topic, we could probably beat this dead horse all day if we wanted to.
