So why did you put the post up Wade?

I guess to include a release wild card amongst all the usual killing posts this month.. Show another side? Their is no way to describe the feeling that overcomes me to see a bruiser kick water in my face healthy & revived from a battle.

Sometimes I don't make the final decision to release, until 2 seconds before gaffing..

I cannot just look at purdy fishies @ Birch...
I must pull!

Do you think is was harmful or beneficial to the public?

Both honestly.. Quite a touchy subject..
Any handling of fish coupled with an intense fight for the others complete survival usually doesnt equate well, unless one really takes the extra measures to ensure its heathy recovery and boost its odds. Some days are pure Killing days for me, while others are Release..
im caught in a catch 22 & i don't even post a 1/4 of my kills or releases..
I left after i landed only four, exactly for that survival reason, and didnt continue to earn double digits. (that night)
Yes, for the measly four that did survive, I may have caused the death of more than twenty+ the following day..My post was for several reasons & also exactly what you said but in another light..

"People need to realise that just because you can do it,
it doesn't mean you should"...

ps they got lucky i was too busy in the studio this week, otherwise i would have killed 2 and eaten like a King. (CROAK....)
