I guess I'm in it for the sport-- I release 99% of my fish, and I use inches as a unit of measure because I don't carry a scale or camera. I usually measure on the rod if I'm surf casting, or with a tape in the boat. Then back they go. If I did get a truly huge fish, honestly not sure what I'd do with it -- my best fish a couple of weeks ago at 44" (and fat) was released, and I still wonder what she may have weighed - I plan to get a digital scale sooner or later.
To me, a Cow is over 40" (30# plus?), nice fish over 36" (20# range?), and all the rest are fun.
I also like fishing in the Pond or lbeach in the late season with lighter tackle, at which time they're all fun.
