It's interesting as I'm asked harvest questions a lot at work, and no matter how much info I give including showing the regs and such, there is always that look on the customers face akin to "how can I get past the regulations and stock my freezer". Typically, these individuals buy fishing rods for everyone in the family not requiring a license and then the questions come up as to how many fish can a family harvest. I've become bitter (sorry for the derail) and think that children to the age of having to purchase a license should be strictly C&R and from license age up can choose what type of fishing they would like to engage in.
A couple of years ago I received a PM looking for specific fish at specific locations and how to best catch them. Being a naive forum user, I obliged, and gave locations, techniques and other little hints. I received nary a thank you nor anything for that matter, and I changed my manner on who gets tips from me.
