  • 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.

  • Thats they way to do it boys, keep up the good work!! My biggest released is 8lb 10oz, the bass record in my area is 16lb.

  • you fella's should try fishing at an oil platform in the north atlantic......

    It's so easy...

    I love fish and whale meat. Yummy !

  • i caught a 40 pound tuna but i kept it for my belly...sorry i dont let good eating fish go..but just go home with me..

  • 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.
