Call me a monster, but I would kill and eat it.

That's a beautiful Bright Cromer. I love catching Salmon. Nothings better!

Anatoliy,

No "monster" here, all of us would love to throw that fish on the BBQ.

I'm a old guy and have been fortunate enough to catch many fish, what I have found with time is that you start to relish the moments you spend having a fish on your line rather than the time spent cooking them. It is an honor for me to share in a few moments of a fishes life and to be able to release it back to it's home. I have spent much of my time explaining that to my sons and I do believe they understand where the real joy in fishing is. My oldest son is a fishing fool and can outfish me in an instant, he also releases most of the steelhead and salmon he catches and I'm proud of his fishing choices. Mind you I do eat fish too, I just don't keep everything I catch which lately is nothing anyway....

Fishing is cool because you do have choices! I tried hunting many years back, shot a deer and the I realized that once you pull the trigger that's it, there is no catch and release. I don't hunt anymore or own any guns because it is too final for me but in fishing you can decide whether to keep a fish or not.
With time you will come to love the intimate moments you share with a fish, I sure do and that's what keeps me fishing.

Now that is a pair to draw to, wouldn't you love to have a six pack of those in the cooler. Mine is at least on the wall above me as I type, money well worth it.
