I agree. I catch and release into the ice chest. I'm out there because #1 it is relaxing and #2 I like the taste of fresh fish. I have been with people who practice "catch and release" but I make it clear to them that if that is what they want to do then more power to them but don't tell me that I have to release the fish I have caught. (as long as it is the legal size.)
