great striper jigging out of Montauk, NY

This is hilarious. Seriously. First, I am all for catch and release. But has anyone stopped to think that we suddenly impale a metal shank, which often can get gut hooked upon strike, and then drag a fish up from the depths against their will when “fishing”? Even if not gut hooked, yeah, no stress on the fish there lol. And then people have complain about the release? If you don’t want to potentially kill a fish, then don’t fish. And if you do kill a fish, make sure it doesn’t go to waste. It’s not hard math.

So many look at me haters.

Kil, it’s been awhile and congrats on the catch and intended release on that impressive fish.
