Catch and release guys, do you kill invasive species?
| 
Author:
Around here smallmouth bass and northern pike are considered invasive species because they were illegally introduced into trout and salmon waters. There is no size or bag limit and the state biologists encourage fishermen to kill these fish. Today I caught and killed 77 smallmouth bass. Three brook trout were caught and released. Would you have done the same thing?
Psycho, this is not what I asked before. I asked “how many have you killed?”

LOL, have you asked this before? I swear you’ve asked the same exact thing – or someone else has the same exact story as yours.
Last time a lot of people were mad b/c you were wackin’ off several bass.
Amirite?
no
i generally don’t kill any fish i catch, but sometimes i get angry because bream take my bait so i kill them!!
HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER,, AS A SPORTSMAN I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME JUST KILLIN FISH TO KILL FISH,, IF THEY WERE TRULY INVASIVE, THEN I WOULD PROBABLY CLEAN, FILLET WHATEVER I KILLED AND THEN COOK/SHARE/DONATE, WHATEVER THERE WAS OF IT, TO KILL 77 FISH AND THEN JUST SH*T CAN THEM, I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH….
IF YOU KILL IT, YOU GOTTA EAT IT
Wow! 77 smallmouth. I wish you had informed us of what part of the country you are located. I live in Asheville NC and we have great smallmouth fishing in the French Broad River that does not effect the trout bite. I’m not mad I’m sure you had fun hooking and fighting those smallies. People should be more worried about flying carp, gobbies, zebra muscles and vegetation being introduced. The possible world record bass caught in Japan last week is itself an invasive species.
