Now I Feel Bad for eating this guy...

Caught him on a party boat. An ounce lighter than the pool fish. Big KoK for his species.

What kind of fish is that exactly? That was wild caught in Indiana? I lived in IN for a large part of my life and been fishing all my life and never seen anything like that in a lake.

thats what i love about fishkeeping. keep them as pets or fry them up and have a good meal. you see, you CAN have your fish and eat it too!!!

What is that?

Don't forget about the Monster Fish Eater, that posted pics of eating his Midas/Red Devil.

You just have to think of it another way. What about the kid who lives on a farm and has a prize cow he shows at 4H and the state fair? Should he be a vegetarian just because he has a pet cow?

Yep. Good point.

Contemplating to eat a fish thats in your tank is bad! but catching fish from the ocean or lake that you know is not gonna end up in your tank as pet is A-okay. use to catch that same species of black seabass when i used to go deepsea fishing in va. taste so damn good, not fishy tasting all white meat.

I will never understand people who eat the same creatures they care for as pets....

ditto.
i love seafood, but don't eat any species i've kept as pets.
