I keep a few each year and would much rather keep a 15 lb fish than a 30+ lb fish. Kept one yesterday morning that was right around 15lbs and after cleaning it I had enough fish for about 5 meals for 2 people. I do fish the Striper Cup and club tournaments and would keep a bigger fish for the tournaments but outside of that I would be happier getting a quick picture and releasing the larger fish.
