I am a fish freak

Here is one of my favorite quotes, from the late Lee Wulff, "The fish you release is your gift to another angler and remember, it may have been someone's similar gift to you." Lee Wulff was one of the first anglers to practice catch and release. The stripped bass fishery of the Hudson River is a premier fishing destinations on the east coast. The article (http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070118/SPORTS06/701180307) describes a proposed increase in minimum size to keep a bass. This is a great thing. I am a firm believer in the value of others being able to catch a fish that I or others have released. Another proposed regulation change would increase is the costs ofguideselicensence. In NYS to provide the service of guide you must pay the state as well as pass a test and complete some basic first aid courses. I can feel for these people who are trying to make their living off of these fish. I for one plan on trying to make a living off of a different fish after graduation. Another cute from the great Lee Wulff, "Game fish are too valuable to be caught only once."
