i have a freezer and one of those vacuum sealer dealies, during the summer i keep what the fam can eat, usually a fish a month. i do like bluefish alot the ones in the 2-4 lb range so i start keeping those later in the season and seal them for winter consumption. same with bass. i have 3 in the freezer now. one 40" and two mid thirties. i'd say 75% of what i catch is released. fluke on the other hand.....poor fishies ;P they all get eated legal size goes without saying of course but ill say it anyway

i keep every bloofish i can get {within the law} and introduce them to Mr. Chummer then i set them free a little bit {in little bitz} at a time...bloos make the best shark chum in the world...

as for bass. if it's gonna die anyway? it's food and gets eaten or handed out.

my freezers's are packed tight for the winter.

God compared to you guys I look like a fish hog. Eight or ten.

I usually only keep the ones that won't swim away healthy.
I kept about 6 this year.
None were wasted.

I was good for 3 bass and about half dozen blues.

No fluke this year.Last year I caught a bunch of fluke using a yellow/white bomber while plugging for bass.

I kept 4 stripers this year, I like to use them for stripers cakes. Blues..

I keep one large at the beginning of the season for the grill and the freezer. I have an uncle that I always get one for as well. I have a friend who likes to do bloos in his smoker, so if I get a chopper, it goes to him. Any and all legal sized black sea bass are kept. Everything else gets released, unless it doesn't survive the battle.

I had striper for dinner tonight.

I kept 5 this year plus one Milo forgot , fed lots of friends and family.

[Rob Rockcrawler]

Ive kept 2-3 so far this year. Usually one of the first keepers i get comes home. Striper is not a favorite fish to eat. I usually just make stripers cakes, thats why i have a few pounds in the freezer. I cant seem to kill a bass thats over 36 inches or so unless she got it bad. Over 36 and they get a bit more respect from me for being somewhat smart. Kept a couple blues so far also, 5 pounders. Only take one home a trip cuz its on the grill that night or i wont eat it.

[The Dad Fisherman]

I kept 3 stripers and 1 blue this year....everything else swam away

[Mr. Sandman]
