The 50 deffinately, becuase it carries about a gagillion more eggs than a 28" female, there fore there's a ton of more potential for new fish.

That's the catch 22 (no pun intended) with keeping a 50, its much better for the species if you let her go, but if you didnt have a camera or noone else with you, would you let your fish of a lifetime go, or haul that fat be-ach back to the car, take it to the tackle shop and show it off?

luckily i only catch schoolies....
