Keep or Release

[Gerry Zagorski]

Really getting tired of seeing people passing judgement on others for keeping fish. I release most of what I catch but that’s my personal choice and for someone else it’s their personal choice. And what’s the double standard here? Keep some Fluke, Seabass a Sword Fish or some Tuna you get a pass but you take a Striper and you get lectured??

If you want to practice conservation and keep less then your legal limit great and that’s totally up to you. You want to take as many allowed, although I might not, thats your choice not mine. Fact is it’s nice to have choices.

Other fact is we as recreational Fishermen have made a lot of sacrifices over the years to rebuild fisheries. If there are enough around we should enjoy the resource and to some that’s catch and release and to others it’s keeping some fish for the table. To each his own!!
