Very cool! I took my son fishing when he was 2, he caught a bluegill, and plop into a bucket it went. 4 yrs later, he will eat right out of your hand. He has friends now too! My son and I fish a lot. We catch a lot of fish. He was probably the only kid in his school to catch a shark bigger than himself. We don't keep fish to eat, but that's because we really don't like fish. We put them into fishtanks, we feed them to our other fish, or they go free. I think it's great that you are out there doing things with your daughter, to many parents nowaday's don't do squat with their kids.
My only question is, are you single? LOL!

if it is a bass dont keep it let it go there not worth keeping. and if your a fisherman you damn well know this

Bass = Catch and release.

Both of your opinions are formed based on local traditions and customs that you grew up with and learned from friends, family, and your community. I hope you realize that just because you have your own opinions, they are not and should not be universal.

LMB/SMB are sunfish, and every bit as tasty as their "panfish" relatives. In parts of the country dominated by those ridiculous tournaments, bass are put on some ridiculous pedestal as "catch and release only".

I live in Minnesota, and to me bass are an eater fish. Not all fishermen agree on whether a particular species should be an eater, a C&R only, or somewhere in between kind of fish.

To put another "for example" out there, plenty of midwesterners consider northern pike to be an "eater" fish. However, despite being delicious, I release 99.99% of the northerns that I catch, and never keep anything over 3lbs or so. To me, it is a great sin to keep a big northern, they are slow growing and top predators, and it greatly affects an ecosystem to remove the largest of the top predators.

However I don't belittle those who consider northerns to be an eater, particularly if they are proud of their 3 year old catching a fish for dinner.

It can be said for people who eats carps, bullheads, whitefish, salmon and pumpkinseeds. I have few friends dont like tastes of pumpkinseeds and salmon which is a little odd for me. I dont like the tastes of northern pike or hatchery fish like trouts and catfish....however I love the tastes of wild trouts and catfish.

Since when do you have to be bad off to share in a special moment with the person youre going to love and care for most in your life, your child?

I hope you arent so "bad off" that you dont understand the importance of that.
