They're ocean run stripers here. They come up the river to spawn then head back down through the Golden Gate. Not oily at all IMHO. A lot like rock cod.
I've never eaten a lake striper. Sounds good.

You need to go fish Atlantic stripuhs and blues with Kamo if he’ll take you.

Theoretical question on slot limit fish. You’re trolling and one that’s 1” under the slot hammers your plug. You get him to the boat and measure him, when doing so you realize he’s bleeding like a stick pig and you ripped two of his gills when you set the hook after he inhaled the bait. He ain’t going to make it, not a chance. Is the right thing to do to toss him overboard to become a floater or count him toward your limit and discreetly filet him back home and enjoy eating him?
I know what the right thing to do is to my mind and I’m a big proponent of C&R. Big difference between what you’re describing and keeping a mess of undersized fish.

I hated to unhook Canary's off the coast just to watch them turn into Seagull food, but who needed the grief from the possum sheriffs. At least now you can keep 'em. Mostly... You guys know that’s a very common excuse when somebody wants to keep an undersized fish or ten.

Well, a guy here told me my granddad was an "entitled piece of schit' for daring to upsurp fishing rules in 1930 rural Clackamas County Oregon to put up some jars up for the winter... So, yah shoot those bastids.

Oh, I agree, everyone else shouldnt keep one for that very reason, but it's just somehow different when I gill hook one, because i know i did it by accident.

But say I kill 5 sub legal fish in my quest for my 10 fish limit, wouldn’t it make more sense to eat them and count them against my limit than to toss them and kill 15 that day instead of just the 10 fish limit.

Most fish limits are arbitrarily set at what nanny state thinks you need to be able to keep and has nothing to do with biology. Toss the undersized fish back regardless of health and take your limit of legal fish.

Oh I know, game departments are usually so out of touch it’s impossible to figure out. I rarely keep a limit of anything, if I need a bunch of fish I’ll hit our private “lake” where there isn’t a limit, otherwise I just enjoy fishing. But on the subject of arbitrary limits the limit on crappie in Oklahoma is 37 per day. Been that way forever but it’s always seemed like an odd number to me.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Kid, since when did game and fish start considering what made more sense.

I dont think Buchanan has any wipers that big. Darn. Looks like some stripers I've killed, and some found dead and floating with a white in its throat.

If there's a trip limit there shouldn't be a size limit. You can't believe how many red snapper are wasted in the Gulf of Mexico because of the sze limit. Big enough to bite, big enough to eat.
