The guy caught fish legally, consumed what he kept. Whats wrong with that? Its legal! What if he caught one fish, but said that he was too lazy to cook it so he just let it die and rot?

There is no asterisk in the DFG books that says its legal to keep your limit*

*but doing so will cause you grief from those with holier than thou attitudes.

What the guy did was legal, he was within his rights to keep his catch. Now, lets all go out and kill some Calicos!
windows 95 all the way.

The way I interpreted the question was "Is it irresponsible to take/kill as many fish as regulations will allow?"
My point of view is that always taking what the law says you can take isn't going to make for any Blue-ribbon fisheries. Take a look at some of the pictures from the "good old days" when limits were even more lenient. Do you see a lot of fishing like that around these days?
