Been fishing for years now, and my reasons have shifted over time. Sometimes I fish for sport, sometimes for food—it depends on the mood and the species. When I want to eat, I’ll go for walleye, perch, or crappie. Bass? They’re fun to catch, but not my top pick for the table. I usually release them, especially the big ones—let them pass on those good genes. I really respect folks who cull smaller bass to keep the balance right. Just don’t take more than your limit, and stay in season. Curious—do you fish to eat, for fun, or both? And which species do you keep vs. release? #fishing #bassfishing #catchandrelease #Outdoors
