When I was very young , say 12 to 14 , I used to go fishing for fluke and cod , etc for food with one uncle. then i started going striper fishing with another and always thought it was a waste of time to catch all these small stripers just to thow them back.
Now I fish 90% catch and release. I still love fish but seldom can eat a whole big striper so for me , its more practicle and conservation minded to go to a restaurant for my fish dinners. if we are having a gthering or have people who want some filets , I'll keep some fish but mostly , regardless of size , they go back to swim and be caught again.
