My dad was a hunter his whole life and I hunted up until a few year ago. He hated trophy hunters and his reasoning was valid. Hunting is for food....period. The pleasure he got was "putting food on the table" not killing for bragging rights to the biggest.

I averaged catching more than 100 bass per year for at least 17 years.
All but 2 were put back in the water - a 5# and a 10#. They are
hanging on the wall behind me.

Sounds like what I told our sons - you kill it, you clean it, we eat
it.

My bachelor cabin was next to a boat launch. One day I was taking my walk when a fisherman asked me to take a picture of him with his catch so he could prove to his buddies that he caught it. I did and wondered why he needed the picture as proof, and then he walked over to the water and released them all. Cool.

Of course that reminds me of a story...
I was president of our fishing camp (about 60 miles away) for 17
years. There were about 40 cabins and trailers on a lake about 3 miles
long. A member had been fishing for about a year without catching a
decent size bass. His boat was passing mine 40-50 yards away when I
caught a 4# as I recall, unhooked it and put it back in the water - I
thought he was going to have a heart attack. When I got back to the
dock he was waiting to ask me how to fish.
The big bass were in the lily pads and we made our own lures -
teaspoon with handle cut off, hole drilled in front for split ring and
prop from an Arbogast lure, a hole drilled in the center to rivet a
hook with a skirt and at least 30# test line. We used the fastest
Garcia reels available at the time. Later on buzz baits were available
commercially.
