"Anglers are encouraged not to return redfin to the water, as they are voracious predators that prey on native fish species, trout and other aquatic organisms. Removing redfin will enhance fishing opportunities for salmonid and native species."

From the vic recreational fishing guide.

I think he knows the rules and was well within his rights and the law, to release the fish.

No doubt he is but it would be irresponsible not to reiterate fisheries stance on the subject for those who may not know.

When the rules are changed from "Anglers are encouraged not to return redfin to the water", To anglers must not return redfin to the water I will stop returning them. Until then I will put them back so the bigger fish, ie, Murray Cod etc. can feed on them and for who choose anglers to catch for a feed, I'm not about to get into a debate with anyone on this, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

There's no debate to be had whatsoever. Fisheries base the rules and guidelines on science not the fact the Redfin will be easy prey etc. People are within their rights to release them it's not recommended they do so though.
