I've seen them tossed in dumpsters , along the side of the road , parking lots , in the woods at campgrounds in Rhode Island and Montauk and simply left on the beach where caught. I've seen stringers abandoned by whoever caught them with the dead fish belly up and picked over by crabs.
people love the idea of catching a big fish and eating it. They hate the idea of cleaning and fileting the fish and dealing with the racks. Its a shame but it has happened a thousand times before and will continue as long as new people join the sport. I would hope people only ever do it once and learn from the experience that they should throw them back to swim again if they haven't got the stomach to clean the fish for food.
