I keep a few a year. Family loves striper too much to let them all go. Plus, doesn't make much sense to let the stripes then go buy fish.

9 out of 10 times....a fish comes home with me.
I not only fish for the thrill of the battle and the anticipation of the size...but ALSO for table-fare.
I Love to eat fish. I don't understand how people can love fishing, but don't eat striped - fish... 
I think a lot of it is laziness, you C&R guys don't like getting fish guts on ya.....  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Guts (pun intended) nothing to do with it my friend, In May an June I get enough Cod and Haddock to fill my walk in freezer, within 5 miles of the beach.... no need to keep a noble fish that doesnt freeze or eat as well IMHO.... |

Early in the season, I'll keep one a trip. then i start to get sick of them and only keep them if I know others will want it.
After eating fresh fish, the stuff in the stores ain't acceptable no more.

I'm about 50/50 ,, Around my home waters with a 28"+ keeper regulation in effect we tend to keep a few for same or next day eating for the family and or friends during the 10 month season.
And myself and a few friends have 40" rule in effect, where anything over that size gets a few photo's then right back into the water..
