I do a good bit of fishing in the fall spring and summer and i wanted to know if anyone would but any REALLY big native fish that i had caught at a fraction of what you might pay for a smaller one other wise. I routinely catch 6-12 pound LMB's, 3-5 pound SMB's, Trout, Northern Pike, Lake Whitefish, and a myriad of different sunfish and perch.

Just a thought!
 
There might be issues with fish and game in your state about doing that. I know that you can give the fish to someone in NC but from the way the ranger explained it to me you can't sell the fish. Check the laws to cover yourself.
 
At the least, you'll need a commercial fishing license. These are cheap in some states, a few hundred bucks in others.
 
This is a good way to get yourself in trouble!...It could be viewed as poaching anyway you slice it!

ahh I never eat the fish I catch. Only one I've ever kept was a 20 inch rainbow trout that I didn't know I had on the hook and it died on the dock, so I had it taxidermied and it now hangs above me when I sleep.

I catch enormous fish right off the dock where I go lol. I'm not gonna sell them forget it, I'm gonna bring them back and do a native tank next summer when I re-do my tank.
 
Lol. If you really routinely catch 6-12lb largemouths why bother trying to illegally sell game fish? Why not just join BASS and take down Kevin Van Damm. You'll be a millionaire in no time if you're that great of a bass fisherman. Haha
