What do you do when you are having a good day?

I always only keep the fish that I would use in the next day or two. I prefer to practice the catch and release method.

The problem I have is that some friends ask me to bring them some fish. I explain about the limits and how I prefer to release them. Some are ok with it, others give me a hard time. What do you guys do if you are having a good day. Keep it for the friend or release it?

Release it. If someone wants fish they can go fishing.

Normally release the fish. Every so often the plan would be to keep a striper for the table, that is not often. I have a neighbor who has heled me out a lot who enjoys the fish. If a fish is possibly not going to make it I would give him it (very rare again). Almost always pratice catch and release, regardless of the size and qty of fish caught in the outing.
