You don't eat them? What do you do with them?

There are around 5 million fishermen in britain myself included, if we were all to kill are catch the rivers would soon be empty. There are not the great numbers of fish their once were in our waterways due to pollution, cormorants, crayfish etc. Fishing is growing in England all the time with alot of fisherman ,fishing man made puddles for carp so its also big bucks, some carp can cost thousands of pounds.Abbe Osram said:What I understood is that they throw them back into the water.
But why I dont know, if I understand it right they are not allowed to kill and eat them.

To me fishing is about getting away from everyone, catch a few fish seeing a bit of nature and just relaxing, also you would'nt want to eat half the fish that come out of our river system.
I have ate perch and some of my friend use to sell pike to the local chinese.

The record carp caught in the sixties was kept at london zoo until she died many years later. A number of known fish have broken records more than once. I once caught a small Perch and it had taken the hook right down i was gutted so I cut the line above the hook and put it back, about 3 hours later I caught the same fish again with my hook still in its stomach this time i managed to remove the hook.
I was gobsmacked that the fish survived, let alone be feeding again so soon.
