I release shorts , but in the persuit of keepers. Just me, I guess.

I agree with you Jake, it's not just you. Fish are not toys and that's something to think about.
Getting out in the surf, catching a few fish and taking one home to eat is OK in my book. Trying to catch dozens and dozens knowing that there is always some C&R mortality leaves me scratching my head.
