Keeping 1.5lb pollock is a disgrace.

Why, if you are going to eat it. keeping larger Pollock that are already mature and mating is worse where as a smaller one that hasn't matured enough o mate has less effect on overall numbers, same goes for bass.
I have seen worse from so called educated fisherman

Many reasons, there is little eating in a 1.5lb pollock, it never had chance to breed,

1 larger fish that has bred is better than 3/4 smaller ones,

absolute disgrace

Absolute disgrace I agree. However I had a Pollock last year of 1.52856 and it was delicious!

Out of curiousity seen as your well up on Pollack facts at what age do they start to breed?

no min size limit so anyone can take bucketfulls of what ever tiddlers they like i dont think a 1.5lb pollock is undersize for eating ,they are not endangered due to their fetish for kelpy rocky ground
anyway where does it say he kept a 1.5 lb pollock ?the three in the pic all look like eating fish to me the smallest is about 19 inches long ?
i think a good look and read of someones report is in order before you get on youe moral high horse

the only complain about this report i have is that pictures of live fish with a nice background are more pleasing to the eye and encouraging to others to get out in the fresh sea air

6 pollock caught and 3 put back.
All fish in the pic were over 1 1/2 pounds.
You must have a savage appetite if you dont get much eating in a 1.5 lb pollock...
The fillets from the 3 fish equates to 4 or 5 decent meals for my family for what its worth.

First of all nice pollock mate well done
as for the comment above your talking aload of bull there is feck all wrong with taking a 1.5 lb pollock if its going to be eaten and i hope it was enjoyed

the pollock in the bottom of the pic is 5 cm longer than the legal size for a bass

Ive seen Tightlines eat razorfish whole straight from the sand!!!!! WITHOUT ANY SAUCE!!!!

I've had Pollock jump clear of the water after a lure they have been that eager to get in the pan.

Nice fish, nice result, nice feed.

Good fishing mate.

Nice fishing Kaiser, the 3 in the photo are fine lumps I'd say they all gave a mighty scrap.

No wonder there is no fish about, seems its not just the foreigners eating goldfish sized catches.

Great scraps alright - that first dive for the kelp is class.. Not many fish give that good sport on light gear Id say.

Since when is a 21 inch fish a goldfish,specsavers me thinks and utter nonsense making a comparison with the "so called anglers" who do keep goldfish sized fish .Personally wouldn't have kept them but that's just me as I rarely keep any fish these days apart from a few macks for my ray and doggy fishing but that's just the way I like things.
Each to their own and im sure they made a fine tasty meal so no harm done.

Nice fish, I have taken similar sized pollock for the pan earlier this year. My view - taking a few rod caught pollock home will not make a dent on the overall stock.
