Your Take on Catch and Release?

Next to fluke striper is my favorite fish to eat having said that the only times i will keep a bass is if it gets gut hooked or really banged up on the rocks.My opinion is the commercial limit should be lowered and the recreational limit should be one fish per customer and the size limit should be between 26 and 36 inches for a keeper let the healthy breeders go to produce bigger fish.Probably not a popular opinion but it is mine.

I usually keep 2 fish a year, usually the second keeper, and another later in the season, usually august. The sugust fish is usually taken on an eel and lets face it they swallow the hook sometimes. Give the neighbor a fillet make a few striper cakes. Will usually keep a few more blues for the grill if they are under 5 pounds. I did give a bunch of blues away this weekend. A few less than my limits worth, i know they werent going to waste, felt a little guilty about it, and stopped before my limit was hit.
