let the big ones go cause they are the breeding stock??? What the hell do you think the small ones grow into???

[@TheHuntersClub]

Small ones won't breed till they're of adequate size, which can take many years. Taking a smaller one for food therefore won't impact the fishery anywhere near as much as taking a large one which is capable of replenishing the stocks.
