Mostly CnR
 
Catch and release.Mostly lmb fishing the past few years.Always ate the fluke and flounder when I fished for them.
 
It really depends on the fish and where I'm catching it at. If its a Bat Ray straight out of the SF Bay theres now way in hell I'm ganna eat it, but if its a nice 12lb Chinook Salmon from the Skeena up in Canada then HELL YEAH BLAKES FEASTING TONIGHT!
 
i dont eat fish but love fishing so it 100% catch and release for me but i let my misses take home the odd bream or whiting here n there

lol...rays taste nasty. some guy in SF told me that rays are they "channel catfish" of the ocean there.
 
Catch and release in freshwater, mostly catch and release in salt with the exeption of crabs, prawns and squid MMMM yum.
 
yes they taste like mud but the main reason I wouldnt eat them is because the bay is so dirty and full of mercury and other harmful chemicals and since bat rays are bottom feaders they eat all that stuff up
 
I keep fish for a fishfry, but I let the bigger ones go.
As an example I let all bluebills 9'" or bigger go but I keep them between 7"-8.9".
I let most pretitor fish go.

You have to realize you are messing up the balance with that mindset.
