Down at the Willows last night

[MrHunters]

My gf and I went down to the willows last night for an after dinner ice cream. We walked down to the pier and a guy had just pulled in a barely 28 inch striper. I mean, he was pulling that thing on both ends to make it 28. The salem HM was on the pier and came over to make sure everything was legit... I was happy about that but it appeared he blessed the catch and that was that.

Maybe its because all I see are people posting enormous fish on here or maybe I just have a bias against alot of the people that fish down there having seen some that werent even close being kept in the past but how many of you would have thrown that one back if you were planning on keeping one for the day? Grant it it was legal, just curious.
