MM - My apologies. I was not responding to your post. But I can see why you thought so. My fault. I should have been clearer.

I was responding to the originator of the thread (Fishyfeller) who expressed some confusion as to why there is so much hate directed to hatchery fish. I was just saying that I disagree since I really enjoy hatchery fish.

However, your point about wild fish vs hatchery fish is a long, on-going, contenious debate with no end in sight. I may join the debate, but it takes more time than I have, so I will forego the discussion for now.
