You know what I don't understand? Why it's harmful to release fish that
you have already caught. I know many people who freely release fish that they
have brought home, but decide they don't want them. One man in particular is
a very knowledgable native fish enthusiast, who also owns a pet store. I'm
sure there is some simple explanation why it is harmful to practice this. I'm
not the smartest person on the subject, so please knock some sense into me!
