If I kill a fish it is usually a larger one.
I can release smaller fish quickly, with less stress, and in a lot of the places I fish larger fish can come in pretty beat to hell.
As far as smaller fish tasting better; I believe that as far as I can throw a 30lb bass. I've never had a problem with bigger fish tasting bad, IF they are cared for properly.
To me it remains a fish grab for stripers with those groups, whether they push for bag limit or not. WE (recs; I'm not commercial) HAVE NO MORE right to the fish than the commercials do.
As far as fitting them into one room for each state, is exactly one of the problems... maybe too many full-timers have been pushed out already.
The easiest way to manage is not the always the best, especially in this case!
