Thanks, this is actually not to far from Belgium in Germany. I think catch and release is often the right thing to do. Unfortunately is there a law in Germany which obligates you to kill the fish and take it with you, if the fish has reached the required minimum size and is not in close season. The idea is that people only should go fishing when they want to catch fish for food. And not just for "fun". In my opinion this law does make not much sense but it is what it is. Thank you so much for your nice comment!
