Catch 22

Personally I'm chuffed for the lads on catch22. They've paid their money and caught good clean legal sized fish.

It's not as though they're leaving them to rot on the dock, they'll be eaten and enjoyed by friends and family I'm sure, nothing quite has the taste of fresh fish. let's not forget that line fishing is as sustainable as it gets, it's trawlers that we should have the grief with.

Well done lads, great haul!
 
Nothing whatsoever wrong with keeping 2-3lb codlings

nice clean sweet fillets with no worms

better keep 10 of them than one 12lb to 20 lb breeder
 
So you have seen 80 cod between 2-3lb caught from the shore in one go I think not. Maybe in the full season by a lot more than 10 people.
We all know you catch more and bigger on a boat than you do from the shore.
Anyway I don't own a boat I pay just as much as the next man when I go out .
But would never think of taking a 2-3 pounder never mind 8 of them.
I understand taking one or maybe two to eat in some people's eyes is fine but I just think take the ones the shore lads have very little chance of catching.
So the boat lads/lasses have there fun and leave the others to grow bigger and the shore lads/lasses have a chance too.
Rant over.;)

You've never seen anyone catch 16-24lb of cod in a session on the shore?
