Pictures and measure it, if I think it will survive it goes back. Have it mounted from the pics. Let if breed we need more fish.

first thing would be to take a picture, then I'd call "gonnacatchabig1" and "shipwrecked" to brag about much better of a fisherman I am than them, then I'd let it go if I thought it would make it as I can't afford to have it mounted

I'd want to keep it and show it off and use it to wash away my inadequacies as a person, but I know it wouldn't and I'd be embarrassed thinking it could, and when it couldn't I know I'd regret killing it, and I'd look out at the night sky and know I needn't end the fish's existence to justify my own, and I'd feel grateful, blessed maybe, to have crossed paths with such a great creature, and I'd turn it free and then sit there for a long, long time.

Well thought out statement.I know a fellow surfcaster who Had the disease REAL BAD..He sacrificed everything, family, kids,a good job.. All in the pursuit of the giant linesider.One winter day as he sit in his apartment all alone with a 53 and a 59 on the wall.The mounts where not enough to take away his grief...
He said that was it. The next day He gave the mounts away and went home to beg his family for forgiveness.
That being said I'll probably still kill the first one..
I'm a fool like so many others.Maybe somewhere down the road when I am in need. I can sell the mount, if I am lucky.For what I paid.. |
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

i think you can still fish and have a happy family... you just have to find a wife that loves fishing as much as you do and then raise your kids to be fishermen and this will never ever be a problem  |

Josh, I love the "eat it," idea!
I caught a really big fish once in my illustrious fishing career.
It was a hot day, my cooler was too small (the cooler was about 90 qt size).
I decided that the fish would be too mushy by the time that I got it home.
It was in a year thaat, fot those of you who remember, Rappin Mikey and I had the little 15 foot Starcraft and would catch goof fish every time we went out.
I let that one go...never gotten one close to that.
This was 7 years ago.
Oh well...I'd definately put the next one on the wall.
Later,
Rick
