I keep some, but not most of my catch. If i'm really nailing them i'll keep a few for a meal. If i'm picking up only an occassional fish, i'll throw it back. Why keep a fish if you'll only get one? Not enough for a meal. For me it's close to 50/50 what i keep and release. I throw back all native brookies though.

In some places and in some cases, I've kept legal fish. I sort of make my own judgment call on how the particular species is doing in the fishery I'm fishing. But about 95% of my fish get released. Unless I'm in Yellowstone. That always turns into a lake trout bloodbath. Gotta kill every last one.

Its about half and half. Like for my birthday on Monday we are having a fish fry so the past times we have gone fishing, we have kept almost all of them. I believe we have about 3 quart sized bags full and pair that with homemade french fries it should feed me and my brother. (haha just kidding that will feed my whole family)
