The only thing wrong with the picture is killing that big mother bass with all those eggs in her belly.  I tend to give those big fish back to the lake......let 'em breed.

Of course, he/she may have snapped the pic and released the fish!

I would just love to catch a bass that big for bragging rights. I agree with the catch and release policy.  ;D

I've lived long enough to see that conservation efforts DO make a difference in fishing and hunting.  Take the striped bass moratorium from twenty years ago.  The striped bass population up and down the Atlantic coast has improved tenfold since they stopped commercial fisherman from decimating the fishery...

Sport fishing brings in billions more in revenue than commercial fishing...keep a few for the plate, release the rest..
