Personally, I love catching Stripers, but I don't care for their taste all that much, so I return them to the sea again to live. That's one of the reasons I spend so much time in the Hackensack River. It's a breeding ground, and so there are lots of shorts. Fun to catch, but still easy to return to the water without harming them. On a good day I'll catch and release 15-25 fish.
Now Fluke, on the other hand, are a different subject. If they're legal, they're in my freezer by the end of the day.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
