"Amen" bank walker. To this day I have yet to keep a native and yes, I have been fortunate enough to have landed plenty of them to know the difference in the fight. What a difference they make.

Look at what catch and release has done for the bass fishing industry. It is alive and well due to this great practice. " Release the fighter", catch and release wild fish should be the norm.
