into fishing and its nice every now and then to get something back :roll: :roll:

last pic looks like you tuck it home :(
cheers paul ya i took it for the table. i dont kill every fish i catch but i do enjoy to eat my catch on occasion. i am fully aware of catch and realese and all the benefits of it and i teach my kids to be conservation minded when fishing but i also believe the odd fish coming home for the pan is ok so long as it is not wasted. i didnt just take it home for the sake of the picture and then toss it in the bin which i have seen fellas do :twisted: 57 ray i caught last year i kept 4 for the pan some people might not like that but such is life. :|
i didnt post the pics to upset or offend anyone please dont turn this thread into a catch and release debate we have had enough of them on here already and they always end up turning sour :cry:
tight lines
john
thats a fair point john,if it was for the pan thats cool by me :wink: but as u said some people take home just to take pic's and then bin such a lovely fish.
