At least within the group of guys I fish with, any fish bigger than about 40 inches/20 pounds is a very nice fish we'd be real happy with. Anyone seeing a fish of that size or better would clearly be saying "nice fish", "great catch", etc.
Below that its just keeper or schoolie.
I fish only from shore except for a charter or two here and there, in the boats I'm sure people would be going a notch up from that.
