I had a very hard 2 minutes of deep thought when I landed my first ever keeper a few weeks ago.
I knew I would have no time to properly clean and preserve it.
I knew I had no room to store it whole.
It was raining and my camera was in the truck so I couldn't take a picture and I didn't want to leave it beached while I ran for it.
So, I patted it on it's hed and sent it on it's way.
I have not caught anything since.
I know I did the right thing for myself
However, the next keeper is gonna come home with me and the whole family will eat of it.
What remains will become chum, stew, or plant food.

On FathersDay I drove through cohaset and stopped next to atlantica. It smelled like lobster bait. I walked over to the cleaning sttion and looking down saw at least a half-dozen carcases.
two had sorry attempts at fillets taken from them.
the others were pretty well cut down.
However, low tide in that area exposes the mud AND those carcases. Maybe folks should think to bring some rocks and hemp rope or make friends with a lobsterman to see if they want the carcasses as bait.
Something must change or stations like in cohaset will be shut down by the "well to do" and over zealous Enviro-mental-ists.
If it were my restaurant I would be opposed to it.
-sigh.
