I guess I'm in the minority.
Maybe it's a family thing. My brother in Vermont who fishes for trout is catch and release and my other brother in Alabama who lives on Lake Guntersville is catch and release for bass.

When I fish for pan fish the name indicates the intent

When you fish pretty much every day March thru October...you really couldn't keep all that fish. I will keep a good flounder or mangrove snapper to eat fresh. One legal snook in each season because the wife likes them and that's it.
As far as other fish...like someone else said...if it is not going to survive...it goes to my wife's friend or my barber get it.

Depends on what we're fishing for. Virtually all gamefish get let go -- redfish, snook, trout, and, obviously, tarpon -- and that's probably 90% of the fishing we do. But we also like to eat fish, so we do target snapper occasionally -- grey and yellowtail are favorites.

I fish for the fun and the challenge, and almost always go alone. I might keep a Grouper occasionally, if in season, but otherwise it's straight recreational. I fish year round regardless of seasons or catch limitations because it's only illegal if you keep it. My wife & I can only eat so much fish, so why keep more? Neighbors can go get their own. Bottom line is .... My boats, my tackle, my gas and maintenance money, so I'll fish the way that pleases ME.

I mainly fish for freshwater bass and every couple of weeks I'll keep a 2 lb Alabama Bass for dinner that night. When Capt Louie takes me in saltwater I'll keep the legal ones.
