Keep what you will eat, let them catch their own.
Brad you know the Cali tacos is what got me when you just posted a few days ago about landing all those tuna and dorado and five days in a row with yellows. Come on man
I have all the respect in the world for a guy that puts in that amount of time on the water and consistently gets fish, but I don't respect the attitude that you seem to have of killing everything that hits your line.

If I choose to eat only fresh fish and make some friends and colleagues happy, that is my business. I've eaten tuna for 4 straight days, so some hamachi will be a nice change. I've kept about 6 calicos this year, out of easily 10 times that number caught. My YT slaughter this year = about 12. Go check the fish counts from the landings if you really want to get your panties in a bunch.

I like to catch fish.
I like to clean fish.
I like to eat fresh fish.
I like to see the smile on a friends face when I give them fish.
I like to drink the beer they give me as a thank you.

What is so wrong with that?

And Jim, why don't you make your tournament C&R?
