Interesting topic. I am of the belief that not knowing what a species of fish is with its respective legal size limit is no excuse.
I can see how fellow fisherman crucify these less experienced fisher-people on social media if they post such pictures, however most could get their point across in a better way. Instead of abusive comments there should be more encouragement to release the fish next time after a quick photo if the fisher-person is unsure what the fish species is.
I can see how rec fishing is on the decline with the mentioned reasons in instances like this where social media blows a minor issue in the scheme of things out of proportion for all to see, however I still don’t have sympathy for ignorance and make sure I get my point across in these instances, just in a polite and ‘next time you should…’ fashion.
