Do you want this?

This is about a post I made on the main fishing side -
It came up about the ethics of keeping more than you
can eat or use. Just wondered if this has ever happened
to any of you - The end of more than one fishing partner
arrangement with me has been over this. I catch a fish,
and ask my partner, "Do you want this? I am NOT going to
clean it" Usually it is a cat or bass, but has been other things.
Partner says, "YES, don't throw it back" Then when the end of the
day comes, they are too lazy to clean it and start trying to give it
away at the boat ramp... or tell me I can have it, some lame excuse
like "It's not enough to bother cleaning" :mad: I will clean it, but
probably not invite them again... On this topic, I once had an elderly
gent ask me for a mess of catfish, so I went and laid about 40lbs on him,
he sold them to all his neighbors :) that didn't bother me, free enterprise
at work. Just glad I didn't volunteer to clean 'em, I almost did.
Also, I used to run into a man, retired, only knew him as "Doc",
but he was a bream fisherman of the highest order... He fished for them
all seasons, and was extremely good at it. He cleaned and gave most
all of the fish away, a lot to a orphanage. He always said, never throw
a bream back, overpopulation is their worst enemy. He did his part to
help :D A great guy, he loved to tease me about my gps - asked "is that
thing gonna tell you where they are?" No sir, just where they were last
weekend! ;) He would nearly get down and roll telling about this bass
fisherman he watched one day, sight-fishing and stalking for hours-
Doc fished alot out of a belly-boat tube- the guy got within talking
distance of him, and he told him "Yes sir, those grass carp are hard to
catch on a artificial" Said the guy trolled up a little closer to the fish he'd
been stalking, knelt down and squinted, and then flew mad, 'bout turned
Doc and his belly-boat over with his wake when he left...
