Ethical Answer....
I rarely, if ever, keep a fish --- regardless of size. What's the point....if I want to eat fish I'll buy it at the grocery store or fish market. That is much cleaner for me, easier, and let's the fish I catch go free.
Actually, I LOVE setting a big fish free just knowing that the offspring it produces should yield a stronger and healthier stock for years to come.
Take all the pictures you want, take all the measurements, and mount a nice 8 1/2" x 11" picture on my "Fishing Wall of Fame" in my house.....memories taste alot better then any fish ever will......
