Catch and release of trophy fish is a subject that stirs up some strong emotions, but I think it's good to have the discussion every once in a while. I think the most important thing is to provide a good example to the novice anglers out there learning the ropes, since people these days usually start with the Internet when they're trying to learn how to do something new.
I don't have a problem with spirited debate - I argue for a living. As long as we keep everything respectful and it doesn't become a personal fight, I've got no problems with anyone here.
Usually that just means keeping arguments about politics off the board and everything else takes care of itself.
