Keeping fish?

[striprman]

I like to eat fish, striped bass are delicious.

I like bluefish too.

So, ya, I keep what I am allowed to keep.

I have kept one 36" striper this year, and two 10 lb. blues.

Everything else has be released to swim another day.

i kept about a 1/2 dozen bass. like all around 36" fish.
kept maybe around a dozen bluefish. 2 trophys, the rest were like 2 pound eaters.

i eat em, and i have some buddies i work with that i basically fed for a couple weeks this summer with bass and bluefish. these dudes go insane over bluefish.

if i have a fish thats legal to keep, and it has a fatal injury, im keeping it, even if its a bloo.

I think I've kept maybe half a dozen fish this year. One was upper twenties but the rest were probably teen sized fish.

I eat the first keeper of the year, and then usually one somewhere in the middle, and one at the end for the freezer. Plus I've kept 2 or 3 fish for friends/family.

I used to feel really guilty about keeping a fish, but reading&hearing about what the commercial take is & bykill from the trawlers and all the other crap that's going on, I'm not so worried about the effect of the few that I take anymore.
