Yes Indeed! Cool Story! We would NEVER catch fish like that if they were always Kept! True Fisherman! Mo.

Yep easy enough to say you would release a state record

coldcreekchris · « **Reply #6 on:** Feb 02, 2015, 08:19 PM »

I would release the state record 100% of the time....

when people kill a monster with the excuse that they're getting it mounted it frustrates me to no end! replica mounts look just as good as skin mounts now adays and then there are more monsters swimmin around in the lake to be caught and reproduce! who doesn't like that? its a win win situation!

Most fish that r state record quality r way passed there prime of reproduction. There years r numbered I'd rather have it on my wall then finding it on the shore rotten.

Id love to see video of any of you "captian-save-a-fish"s release a state record,its a damn fish,what do you hope to achieve by releasing a fish that's well past spawning age?

missoulafish · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 04:55 PM »

I will not judge one for keeping a state record and their reasoning behind it.. but I ask if you do the same and not judge me.... I believe that old fish..deserve to die with dignity.. the same as all of god's creatures...if your beliefs of the value of an old fish are different than mine....I understand....but don't belittle my spiritual beliefs of letting the big ones go.....

BobberdownMT · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 09:20 PM »

That 6 point bull is too big and old scores too much gonna pass on him haha

BobberdownMT · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 09:25 PM »

Not one hunter on here would pass on an old high scoring trophy animal it's the exact same thing

coldcreekchris · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 09:41 PM »

I understand what you are sayin....but maybe i'm the only one....not takin that shot..would rather have a spike or fat cow in my freezer...I am all about the eatin part of it....to me I would rather let that old timer go than make jerky and have a trophy....yes...you are right.. its the exact same thing...

MTntv · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 10:15 PM »

You guys are good for a lol,fishermen thst are afraid they might harm an old fish and hunters who prefer a year old bull over a 6x6,where do you guys come from?

missoulafish · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 10:19 PM »

It's pretty obvious who's good for a laugh here

Not for me. If I could call an old bull in, feel the adrenaline of letting that arrow fly, go put my hands on him and get some pics and then turn him loose and go kill a fat young cow to eat I'd do it in a second. Be able to hunt all through sept (which I did anyways this year minus the laying my hand on him;) and keep going back and forth with other bulls sounds like heaven. For me the process is the most fun and putting a big un back to see if I can catch her again when she is bigger would be the ultimate challenge. I wouldn't begrudge you a bit if ya don't feel the same way, just some of us see this as a win/win. Don't begrudge me for my opinion.

Strippnthedream · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 05, 2015, 12:54 AM »

Pretty sure when a fish dies it's either at the bottom of the lake for the crawdads or they get washed up on shore. Just saying I'd rather have it on my wall. Your right. I haven't found any state record fish laying on shore, with that being said I have found a lot of trophy caliber fish died on the shore. On numerous bodyies of water. Some u can tell that were just old fish n some who knows what happened.

BobberdownMT · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 05, 2015, 12:27 PM »

Just because someone chooses to shoot that 6 point bull doesn't mean they are unethical

fishin7 · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 05, 2015, 02:46 PM »

99% of the time I will let a big fish go. For one they just don't taste good and two I like the idea of letting the big spawners, the ones that actually can spawn, go make more fish. But if I catch a fish that is bigger than any other fish of that species that I personally have caught before and I decide I want to mount it then guess what, that fish is going home with me. Everyone keeps preaching about the replica mounts and that's great if you want a fish on your wall that looks like you bought it at Wallmart, then go ahead that's your decision. But to me replicas do not look REAL! Put 10 mounts in front of me, in person not pictures, and I guarantee I can pick out the replicas.

Well said fishin7, totally agree....

This thread was never about imposing personal ethics on others. It was highlighting the actions of a sportsman who did something entirely out of the ordinary that I thought was pretty cool and others on this site would enjoy. It was you who went out of your way to call names and tell people what they should do. Please keep your negative comments to yourself.
