I know I'll catch hell from the usual crowd for this, but.....if I am fishng for S-B.com in the Striper Cup, or fishing my first Derby this year, I am gonna weigh it. (After calling Luds and Clogston to see what their on first....) Hey, if last year is any measuring stick, it could also be worth a VS275 and a shot at a truck.
I did keep a large fish this past year, largest I've kept, and the meat was better than I expected, for what it's worth.
That said, there are fewer and fewer things in life that give you the satisfaction of returning a remarkable fish back to the sea. Warms your soul. You can't get that hunting. That's not a knock on hunting; it's just different.
