Down at the Willows last night

I just ate some of the best tasting filet-o-striper from a 36"

to stay with the thread...and answer your question.. I hardly ever plan on keeping a fish. I only keep a fish if I don't think it's going to make it...or maybe for a special occasion.

I think if it messures 28 and you want to keep it you can, if not well I am not going to say a thing to no one, I just mind my own business

I was sitting in my little boat with my Daughter and a man was fishing from shore with his two little sons he caught a 14 inch striper and keep it, my daughter kept saying tell him dad, I told her I am not saying anything to him in front of his two sons if he has enough brains he should know the rules of the game.

It would depend on two things. How long it took me to catch it and how bad I needed a fish. If I had hungry people to feed , that fish is a meal. If I could take it or leave it , I'd have gone for something bigger to take home , something obviously over the limit without even measuring.
