Bob - Nothing wrong with you.
The tourney that was sighted was a fresh water most redicoulous waist of resource the guy could find - it had not comparitive threads to what I was talking about - compare a 12 boat tourney keeping 3 fish each to a fresh water kill with 316 boats, 1000 LMB, 3200 fish entries and then quote(Bulletbob) "Just seems a shame to kill them for a dopey competition, or abuse them until they die when released.". Its like saying in we should clean up the Raritan Bay because in China they are really polluting their eco system with industry. They are both on target but neither really have any thing to do with each other!

To each his own. I eat Crappie / Sunfish(need to take them out or they will stunt the lake), Yellow Perch , Trout , and Channel Cats from fresh water. Bass I now release. Saltwater I eat what ever is in Season . Tuna and Stripers on the top of the list. The only fish we eat is what we catch or canned Tuna when we are desperate.

It's pretty simple for me. I like eating saltwater fish, I just think they taste better. Freshwater fish taste like bugs so I set them free.

Gerry,

I still may freeze a few Fluke fillets or Blackfish, but never any oily fish such as Bluefish, Stripers, Weakfish or Mackerel.

Even if these fish are in the freezer for only a short period of time (A week?), the fish that comes out of the freezer is NOT the same as the fish that went into the freezer.

Eat them fresh the day you catch them, give a few excess to family or friends if they will eat them immediately, and release all the rest.

Don't eat any freshwater fish. And the really big tog and stripers that I do hook USUALLY play C&R with me!:D
