And I know YT grow fast and travel far etc... but still common sense tells us the more you return the more you catch. Your primary reason for being out there is to catch fish right?

Again, I don’t ever see myself releasing a meat fish, but then I don’t invest hugh blocks of my life on the water fishing for them either - like you do.
Slay Rider, I'm glad you found MY QUOTE from ANOTHER kayak fisherman thought provoking. I do practice catch and release on occasion, but that depends on how much fish I have in the freezer. I missed the last two bites by one day this year so when I pulled up a 4 lb. calico this morning it went home with me.
