When I’m on the water my aim is for fish dinner I can fillet with the best of em and I’m not scared to do it. I have however learned long ago the best way to invite the skunk onto the boat is to plan a BBQ before a fishing trip. My wife and I love FRESH fish I won’t kill more than I can eat in 3 days or give away (I’m very popular with certain friends) I’ll go to extremes to insure nothing is wasted I believe in karma. I now use a fine mesh net so as not to split Halibut tails witch causes infection I never keep any fish outside the legal size limit and nether does any one on my boat . I will C&R Calicos and Barracuda on single hook jigs but not to many because I think there is a mortality issue and no mater how hot the bite once my boat is limited on White Sea Bass these days we’re done. I’m thrilled to be able to participate in the food chain. A woman who was appalled by the thought of me killing my own dinner once told me “cellophane changes everything” I think she was right.
