FWIW the issue on hunting is that larger deer are preferred because they are older, have already passed on their good genes and are more prone to disease and injury than their younger counterparts.
Could be stated about bass in many situations. I will be the first to say, and have been in the past, that larger fsih are the MOST important to any system. But the truth is that the larger bass "have already passed on their good genes and are more prone to disease and injury than their younger counterparts. "
So either way its a balancing act, kill a big fish because it has done it's job and passed on genes that are beneficial to a system and bound to get sick at some point, or don't kill it because it potentially can contribute more to the population. It's been debated for years and will continue to be for years....
Some people might not like me "hogging" this thread....but I couldn't be having more fun. Debates like this are the core of all scientific research and discovery, and do nothing but make people think....fantastic that Jimfish started this and I hope everyone can get something out of it. But on the otehr hand, feel free to tell me to shut up!!!
