Eat 'em and enjoy them once; release 'em and enjoy them again and again!

If I can I try and keep only males and between 14"-16" they are tasty for sure but it is "frowned upon" to take larger "breeders" 18"+. but then again some people frown upon all fishing so if you want some tacos eat up!

no, let em go. Lots of other tasty fish out there. If you found a spot with big fish around, let them provide you with great sport and then let them go promtly. If you have to eat one, don't put a knife in one over 16 inches.

I need to see how big these fish are before I can say how they will taste. Why don't you take me to your spot and I'll tell you?  | |

They are the best fish tacos you can eat, don't let people discourage you, take what you can eat.
