the only thing that sucks about a total c&r season is the idiots that will throw one up under the bow----------have witnessed the slaughter on ling 3 weeks before season opens and have called in boat #s but have no idea of what came upon of the reports---seen the same boats out on the fields the next weekend----------for this point yes would be nice to get a licence to fish and release but there are not enough f&g peaple to enforce during the season
