I think i kept 4 tops. my neighbors love bass, so i filet and release to them when they ask me if i could bring one home. One of my neighbors trades me fluke and littlenecks for striper.. cnat beat that

I'll take cod, fluke, tog, and especially seabass over striper any day of the week.

I have kept three Bass this year. My first Keeper of the season one in July and one a few weeks ago. I would say I release 95% of the fish I catch. I don't keep blues any more.

I kept one fish this year about 20lbs. I don't like keeping fish, I can't stand the people who keep fish for the reason of bragging rights and getting there picture on the tackle shop wall. I work at a tackle shop and I see so many fish weighed in that will most likely not be eaten. It makes me sick and if I had the choice I would not have a wall of shame in a tackle shop I think it gives people more of a reason to keep a fish. Sorry bout the rant

I kept 5 bass this year, all caught in Sept/Oct. Ate some of them and then vacuum sealed the remainder for my once a week striper dinner. Should last me to spring. Kept 3 blues, all badly injured from umbrellas or trebles, for immediate eating, tasty....

Have never vacuumed blues as I heard they do not freeze well. If someone has done so successfully and can give me the secret, I may consider in the future.

All fish I keep are eaten either immediately, given to friends or vacuumed for the freezer.

none this year

I will usually keep one or two in a year, when I get a 28" or so orit is a bad bleeder. None this year as the wife was excpecting and eatin bass is about as good for a fetus as chewin on lead paint chips. One 3 lb blue went in the smoker

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
