We have pretty good fishing here in Florida. Down where I am a lot of the game fish in the ocean have been fished out though. I live on a big canal and we have large mouth bass, Peacock bass, Firemouth and catfish of a couple types. Its nice to step out the back door and pick up a rod and snag a nice one right behind the house.
Ocean fish I will eat, but not the freshwater ones I catch here. Rumor has it that there are mercury and a few other things in the mud, but I have never fought an unhealthy looking fish here, no ulcers, worms or anything. I keep meaning to take some samples and get them tested, just haven't done it.
I don't have any problem killing something to eat it, but have never seen the point of killing for a trophy, thats what pictures are for.
