While hauling in (and releasing) big striped bass off Montauk, N.Y., Carl Safina, a marine biologist and avid angler, explains the merits of letting the biggest fish go.
If you fish for keeps, take only what you need (that is enough for one meal). If you want more, go out and try again. There's no sense in taking home a 20 or 30 lb fish and not consuming it all. I hate to see people waste fish.

Good job, I love releasing the striped bass too. Biggest one I released was 29.4 lbs. Hopefully I'll catch 40 - 50 lb range one day.
