Keeping Fish

[Yak Fish]

Okay guys, I have my Hobie Outback all rigged up and ready for Rock season. I just have one small question. After you catch a big old pig of a rock, how do you transport/store it for the journey back?? Now I'm not talking little 25" and under. I'm talking about the big boys. So if you can share some insight or even a pic or two that would be great.

You release it. We are generally conservationist minded and wouldn't keep fish over 30". It's not good for the species because they're part of the spawning migration. If you post a picture keeping a large fish like that, be prepared for a little backlash.

let the trophies go.. they dont even taste good. if you want a good eating size, take home a schoolie size.

Steve I usually set em all loose. Especially the big ones, most striped bass over 30 pounds are usually female and large females produce exponentially more eggs than smaller ones.
Just my 2 cents, I can remember about 30 years ago when the Striped Bass population was hanging on by a thread. I still believe we should impose a slot limit like they have for red drum.
Fisherman are stewards of the shared resource, if our forefathers had restrained themselves just a little bit we would be able to hunt wild Buffalo today. So that's why I fish rather than hunt, I can't release it for others and our grandchildren to enjoy later if I kill it.

A little ambitious are we?
