Default it's time for a ufc cage match

In honor of great threads of back yonder i.e, "Quality Trout Thread", 62 pages, Harper Collins, copyright 2011 ao, with excerpts appearing in Vanity Fair, The Guardian and the London Times Literary Review as critiqued by Reginald Toffeyponce,,, I dare to start another.

So it's either a U.F.C&R match or a U.F.C&K match.

Since I eat fish -not all but a good chunk- none see the freezer at all. So what's the ratio of eating and releasing, I'm 1:1.

No polls just straight up honesty with vinegar please.

Someone made a thread a couple weeks ago along these lines. How many fish do you catch? How many fish do you kill? etc

If I recall correctly, some of the PETA members were strictly C&R and among the savages, the cull rate was about 10%.

With all the RMWF I harvested I am at around 10%. I go fishing to fish though, not to get dinner. Sometimes a fish has to die.

One thing I noticed this year was that ice fisher people tend to harvest more often than open water fisher people.

I catch about 100+ rmwf for every burb.

I harvest a lot of whites 35cm+, maybe 50 or so last season.

I think I kept 5 burbs for myself last season, and released a pile, mostly at pcr because they are on the smaller size.



Am I destroying Alberta's fishery?
