Just saying meat hunters have another option and worse case can go to the store.
I also agree it depends on the size of the fish. But there are plenty of family fisheries that would alow a full limit still."
And most of this talk of fishing with kids isn't really valid. How many people are really taking out 3-8 year old kids and how often? After 8-10 years old they can throw lures just like the rest of us. And if you are really trying to give the kids an experience AND you want to keep fish, take them to a community pond, or go catch some panfish or catfish. I have two young daughters that I will take out often. But they will learn how to fish according to my ethics (which includes keeping some fish on occasion) but I won't teach them that you have to keep fish. I will teach them how to respect the waters they fish and do what is best for them.
Fishing is so much more than eating fish!
