I see the names and weights posted on the leader board standings and yet I cannot bring myself to kill these fish. 30 pounds is not a big fish in my eyes. That's left over from when I killed many fish for market. Forty pounders are a rare commodity from shore. The demons in my head say hang em on the hook but I cannot do it.
I am a mess.

Seeing you can only weigh one per week Flap, it would be no big deal if you put one on the board.It's personal preference. If you're catching all these fish from the surf, good for you. 30 plus from the surf right now is a good one. If they are boat fish, then...
Actually, it looks like the boat heavy fishing clubs are gonna be all 40 plus pound entries by the end of this OTW thing. I'd probably throw them back too if they were less than that and I was in my boat.
