Even if you catch a 30 or 40 pounder I feel it should be released. A fish that size should not even be netted. Take measurements while in the water and a photo using Boga grip. Have a replica made. A fish that size does not make good eating anyway. The older the fish the more contaminants in it. There have been studies that have found high levels of mercury in Stripers in Alabama lakes. Stick with the ten pounders and less for eating. I am not chastising you Procraft, just offering another perspective. It does not bother me that you kept that fish. If we keep taking the 30 and 40 pounders out of the lake we may never get a 50 or 60 pounder.
