Personally, I think it makes better sense that if you want a fish for the table to keep one fish around 24" inches. Throw back the keepers. Sure, it's against the law, but it makes better sense. It tastes way better, and you just have one meal of it, so you're not all loaded up on PCBs and there's a 50% chance it was a male anyway.
One fish at 36" tastes like sh_t. You're killing a definite breeder. There's no chance that it is a male. Then you have to eat so many meals, and ingest so many pollutants, that you can feel the cancer cells multiplying as you eat it.
