I release all freshwater fish with the exception of a few legal trout for dinner. Saltwater I keep what I am entitled to legally and have NEVER wasted any fish. I package properly and have a stand up freezer for fish and meats. I have many friends and family members that enjoy the fish we harvest and therefore do not feel guilty keeping them because they are never wasted. I never keep small fish or above my legal limit so I abide by all laws. The huge striped bass cows Jbird refers to should go back since they are few to come by and they taste awful anyway!
