With all the excitment of catching a striper or a mulitple of stripers, I would ask everyone to think can I eat all this fish or will I. Do I have a place to put this in the freezer or do I want to clean all this at the dock. I was sickened today by what I saw at the Marina. One of the regulars went out last week and slayed them. 8 very big fish 15-35 lbs. I went over to take a look and he asked if I wanted any filets. I had a few so I said no. He asked just about everyone along the dock if they wanted some. No takers. I was watching him filet the fish and the filtes were gettign smaller and smaller as he worked through the fish. Sure enough when I return a few days later, there on the bottom was the fillet fish and 3 or 4 fillets. That just plain sucks.
This guy is not a bad guy or anything he just got carried away. So the lesson here is to just take what you eat, take pictures and tag the ones that you do not need. You can get the tags from Risaa.
