Did you already have your daily limit?
Was it too small and you had to throw it back?
True story: I took my cousin and his kids out fishing on my tri-toon. The one boy was about 9, and he managed to bring in a nice 16” smallmouth bass that we tossed into the livewell. We didn’t catch much the rest of the day, and decided the one fish wasn’t worth cleaning and were going to let it go.
There was just one problem. It took about 15 minutes for my cousin to talk his son out of his plan to keep the fish for the aquarium he was going to put it in when he got home...
