Spawning wild or native fish does not remove the fact that they are wild or native. These fish are spawned in the waters where they live, not in a hatchery.

If you do not advocate putting fish in waters where they are not native, then why do you fish for bass? Bass were never native to California, they were brought here and planted by DFG hatchery personnel.
