Tim, my fishing does not bother my ethics. I *know* that catch and
release works - saw it with my very own eyes. And, it continues to
work.

Now, whenever I catch a laketrout (called togue) that has found his
way into the river, if he is big enough, I will keep it. I have in
the past. And if I catch a bass big enough to eat, I will keep it.
Otherwise the bass will be slit open and returned to the river.
