i've been trying for at least 7 trips. it was getting depressing. there's a resevoir about 5 minutes from my house that is very convenient to go fish but the bass there are very stuck up.

she's a 14incher, i actually stuck her in my 29gallon until i can get my pond built. if she dies, i'll eat her.

moral issue:
she passes size restriction but i felt like throwing her back anyway because she is probably making babies. however, i didn't throw her back because she was my first. but i did make a promise to myself, "THROW BACK ALL BASS, REGARDLESS OF SIZE"
 
I wouldn't eat any fish that just died! Only the ones that are healthy and I kill. keeping her in a 29 isn't too nice. I would return her, but I don't think you can legally throw her back in now
 
now i feel horrible. shoulda just tossed her back in or clobbered her to bring home.
