You said catch a limit. That infers you took home a limit. The limit is two each. Yes, it's more fun going home with a limit than it is with none or one. Catching a fish is fun, and catching two is more fun. I don't know what you're disagreeing with, but that's OK. If you enjoy catching nothing more than catching two, then have at it. -- Red Herring I catch lot more than 2 but rarely bring home one when fishing stripers. Once I've caught the limit, I go home. I don't believe in catching just to be catching, or culling as some do. -- Red Herring I release 90% of the fish I catch. If they would taste like pig, I would release a lot less. |
