REALLY Fresh Striper is excellent and my wife loves preparing it various ways and we enjoy eating it too. I do occasionally keep a fish between 20-28 pounds which I think is still a good quality fish to eat and allows me twice as much meat as one of the smaller 30-34 inch fish and it lasts longer in my freezer between fish.... So I keep one mid sized fish - 20-30 pounds - and release a LOT of rat keepers (that would be released anyway).... I think the "smaller is better tasting" is a bit overrated unless you are talking 20-26 inch slot sized fish that many states don't have anyway....
Duke - I like your thinking but I'd rather keep one 25 #er than 3 or 4 12's for the same amount of filets...
