Exactly! I'm tired of people jumping down our throats for wanting to keep trout, smallies, etc. Who made them the judge of what is acceptable to feed yourself and your family with and what is not? If you are smart, you understand that meat and fish are essential to our health as human beings. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, well...that's a different argument. If you prefer to eat fish from WalMart that was raised in a Chinese sewage pond (no exaggeration, google it) then by all means, suit yourself and deal with the health consequences. Me, I'd rather save my money and eat fresh fish from waters I know are clean(er). I throw plenty of fish back but you can believe when my freezer is getting low, that cooler gets filled up on fishing days.
