It's a pretty special deal to be out on the water and make a meal from a fish you caught and landed. I mean they taste good no matter where ya eat 'em, but I think the best spice you can add is from cooking 'em up at the water's edge! As far as conservation goes, I recommend ya keep the smaller ones and let the big ones go for a variety of reasons.
1. Most small fish never live long enough to get big (they die from disease, stressful water temps or levels, predation by other fish, human impacts like chemical spills, etc)
2. Small fish make up a significantly larger portion of the population.
3. I let the large fish go because statistically, they have a much higher likelihood of reaching even larger sizes considering the odds they have already overcome.
4. I think about all the nights I didn't catch a big fish, and each one I keep makes it just a little bit harder next time.
5. They take a long time to grow, especially up north. If I knife a 40 lber, it could take 2-3 DECADES for that fish to be replaced. I'll be 50-60 years old by then.
Honestly though, that's what I do and why I do it. If you keep a fish that's legal to keep, good for you. Complaining about someone following the law would be like me complaining about someone for driving the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. Good luck on the water, for real. And if ya get a giant, think about letting them go.
