To date, I have not broken the 30lb barrier but that is a goal this year.
I only keep what I am going to eat myself or with friends/family which is a few each year. Stripers taste best to me in the 30-39 inch/15-25lb range.
A fifty sure does have a nice ring to it. But no, I would not keep it.
Main reason, what would I do with it? I have no desire to mount it nor a desire to eat it never mind parade it around. Personal satisfaction is fine with me.
But in the end, each person can do what they want with thier fish. Doesn't bother me either way.
