Catch and Release

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Central
Location: Chesapeake Bay

While fishing the Chesapeake Bay I hooked into this 48� 45 lbs monster. I released her to live another day or rather and hopefully many other days.

Out of the 1,222 fish I�ve caught this year (yes there are yet a few more days of the year) I�ve kept five fish, three put and take rainbow trout and two rockfish.

Why do I practice catch and release? Preservation of our fisheries and to provide our children and grandchildren with healthy fisheries for many more years of this great sport.
