Default Re: Catch and Release

As far as stripers, I usually release them all. I really haven't had one to eat since I was a kid. Decided to keep one the other day around 15lbs, bled it and cut out all the red meat. Absolutely delicious. However, it fed my family for two nights and we where even able to make a dip with what was left. A lot of meat on one fish. So, the private guys that go out with three guys and bonus tags, and keep their limits every week seem completely unnecessary. How much fish can one eat? Take pics of the fish and release. However for the guys on the PB's and charters, (1) pay a good amount of money to go (2) don't get out as much as us with our own boats, should keep their limits, Vacum seal and freeze.
