You caught a real nice striper, took pictures of her as your trophy, and now she is free to produce more little stripers. Thats one thing I could never understand, why almost everyone keeps these real big fish. I mean are they as good to eat as the smaller ones? I hope I am not offending anyone!! Surely Bassey 07-26-2005, 07:55 AM I'm sure the reason that I caught her was that other prople let her go before. We caught a bunch of other fish that morning that would have been much better eating if I wanted to keep fish. The big ones taste like rubber and it was honestly more fun to let her go than to catch it. I was a little nervous about the expired disposable camera until the pics were printed. This is another reason that you should never fish alone.... :blush: Squibby17 07-26-2005, 08:23 AM NIce Fish. Nice Release.
