Default Re: If they make the Striped Bass limit one will you still go?

Russ A., I think that a lot of us on this site do a pretty good job of policing ourselves when it comes to wasting fish. Some of the 6 Pac's do catch their limits and then fish for other species. I haven't been out too many times when the Party boat that I was on had a boat limit. I have jigged as many as twenty short Bass to get one keeper. That being said ,if we do what you suggest shouldn't we just keep the first two Stripers that we catch and go home ? No catch and release just catch and kill ? The 22" Striper that I release has just as good a chance as the 32"er when it isn't gut hooked and netted instead of gaffed . I love catching Stripers and eating them TOO!!! There's nothing like seeing three Bass follow my jig up and fight for it or almost having the rod pulled out of my hands when I'm burning my jig back and that Cow blasts it going the other way. Also no one has mentioned the floaters that local gillnetters have left in the past .
