Keeping 1.5lb pollock is a disgrace.

Keeping 1.5lb pollock is a disgrace.

Why, if you are going to eat it. keeping larger Pollock that are already mature and mating is worse where as a smaller one that hasn't matured enough o mate has less effect on overall numbers, same goes for bass.
I have seen worse from so called educated fisherman

Many reasons, there is little eating in a 1.5lb pollock, it never had chance to breed,

1 larger fish that has bred is better than 3/4 smaller ones,

absolute disgrace

Absolute disgrace I agree. However I had a Pollock last year of 1.52856 and it was delicious!

Out of curiousity seen as your well up on Pollack facts at what age do they start to breed?

[roger de dodger]

no min size limit so anyone can take bucketfulls of what ever tiddlers they like i dont think a 1.5lb pollock is undersize for eating ,they are not endangered due to their fetish for kelpy rocky ground
anyway where does it say he kept a 1.5 lb pollock ?the three in the pic all look like eating fish to me the smallest is about 19 inches long ?
i think a good look and read of someones report is in order before you get on youe moral high horse

the only complain about this report i have is that pictures of live fish with a nice background are more pleasing to the eye and encouraging to others to get out in the fresh sea air

6 pollock caught and 3 put back.
All fish in the pic were over 1 1/2 pounds.
You must have a savage appetite if you dont get much eating in a 1.5 lb pollock...
The fillets from the 3 fish equates to 4 or 5 decent meals for my family for what its worth.

[roger de dodger]

Ive seen Tightlines eat razorfish whole straight from the sand!!!!! WITHOUT ANY SAUCE!!!!

I've had Pollock jump clear of the water after a lure they have been that eager to get in the pan.

Nice fish, nice result, nice feed.

Good fishing mate.

[Ronnach]

Nice fishing Kaiser, the 3 in the photo are fine lumps I'd say they all gave a mighty scrap.

[edinburgheire]

No wonder there is no fish about, seems its not just the foreigners eating goldfish sized catches.

Great scraps alright - that first dive for the kelp is class.. Not many fish give that good sport on light gear Id say.

Since when is a 21 inch fish a goldfish,specsavers me thinks and utter nonsense making a comparison with the "so called anglers" who do keep goldfish sized fish .Personally wouldn't have kept them but that's just me as I rarely keep any fish these days apart from a few macks for my ray and doggy fishing but that's just the way I like things.
Each to their own and im sure they made a fine tasty meal so no harm done.

Nice fish, I have taken similar sized pollock for the pan earlier this year. My view - taking a few rod caught pollock home will not make a dent on the overall stock.
