I've read before in your posts that your wife is not keen on releasing fish and that she considers this a 'waste'?
I find it hard to comprehend the logic behind this mindset. No doubt its a cultural thing, and perhaps this has been taught for generations (and this is nothing against her personally) but surely releasing a fish in order for it to grow/breed etc cannot be wasteful.
At a stretch she might consider it a waste of your fishing effort perhaps, but I know you consider fishing as not just "harvesting".
Killing an unwanted fish and leaving it behind is wasteful, and unfortunately I have seen plenty of that, but most of us thankfully, will release unwanted species.
Good on you for risking her wrath and releasing it
