Flap, that's why I don't like tourneys. Makes people think twice about killing a fish they would otherwise let go.
The way I see it, if you don't intend to eat it and it's not going to break a personal best for you, then release it.
Who cares about getting a pin for a fish when you've probably caught hundreds of others just like it? I know with your reputation you don't need that.
Good for you for letting them go
Me, on the other hand, I haven't broken 34# yet so I would have taken them home
