why do people keep fish this large? Its the american mentality of my house has to be the biggest on the block, the biggest and best for me.

The meat in a fish that big is not that good, Alaska F&G needs to put restrictions on these big spawners. there is not a problem with halibut populations but we need to get into a mentality of managing fish populations instead of keeping everything we catch just because its big.

how do you know that it will taste bad? it will tatse just fine. and you would have to kill a bunch of little butts to get enough meat that is on that one. would you have released that monster?

If I were to catch something like that I would cut my line cause there is no way i would waste my time with something like that.

Now this I disagree with...The throw it back mentality isn't a bad one but it has its drawbacks as well. Look at The Moses Lake are lakes walleye populations, hence why you now how a more liberal limit and less size restrictions. I am all for managing a fishery but that's why we have biologists to tell us what we can keep and what we can't. They know way more about fish populations than we ever will I'm afraid...

Just my $0.02 USD

I'm with you, I've seen too many beaver ponds swarming with stunted 6" brook trout when they would of had healthy populations of 12-18inchers if they had been regularly thinned out. There is a reason that we can keep 5 brookies and only 2 rainbows/browns.
