Far from sad Ken. Anyone culling fish legally caught in slot limit

But anyone releasing a fish legally caught in C&R only waters
is not an angler but a wanton killer of wildlife even though
the C&R fisherman kills fewer fish. Sorry man, that dog just
won't hunt, either they're both anglers or they're both wanton
killers of wildlife.

Yes, killing an animal that you never had any intention of utilizing
is wanton destruction and killing for sport. An angler who wants a few
for dinner has a nobl and justified reason for the act.

My personal feeling is that C&R is a contradiction to the laws
concerning waste of game as well as chasing and harassing wildlife.
