Huge difference between fishkeeping and fishing in MFK. Keeping an illegal fish can ruin whole hobby, but released an invasive species back in the same water won't ruin fishkeeping hobby or fishing. Yes there are some animals in the woods will eat a dumped fish but NOT ALWAYS. All of my fishing spots regularly have dead fish (rougfish and filleted gamefish) being rotten and many animals prefer fresh fish over stinking fish anyways. Of course not too many animals would eat a big carp, let alone a pile of stinking fish.
there is no difference a law is a law if you approve of releasing invasive species then you approve of owning illegal species you cant be a hypocrite of one law and turn around and break another but i would eat the snakehead. i dont fish for carp so i cant talk on that
Took my daughter up to the park and let her do some fishing. She got 6 bluegills with daddy's help setting the hook occasionally. The bass were jumping on the other side of the pond...I'm going alone next time. lol

that makes absolutely 0 sense... "i approve of not killing a fish for no reason, therefore i approve of people smuggling fish in that are illegal" - guess what.. in many states the missionary position is the only way sex is legal, if believing one law should be broken means i believe the rest should be ignored as well i'd have full stars on grand theft auto with tanks chasing after me!!
Still huge difference between keeping an illegal species in here and broke a law that is not fishkeeping related. MFK do not tolerate illegal fishkeeping actions, that's it. As I said before, kill an invasive species is a waste of time and I would release a snakehead or a carp back in the waters if I am not planning to use them for something.
It's a choice that each sportsman is entitled to. Kill invasives if you want, but I'm throwing mine back if I'm not eating it. Snakehead in my avatar was released happy and alive as well as many others. I won't butcher a fish for no reason. You can if you want since you think that is what's right, but everyone has thier choices of moral conduct. Now let's not argue.
I have few questions for you. I never heard of any fisherman got caught by a game warden and got fined from released an illegal fish back in the waters where it was caught at.
