We were fishing with my Brother in Law and Capt. Joey.
My Brother in Law is adamant that he releases everything.
I did get Capt. Joey to save a few of the smaller (around 20") sea trout and I grilled them with lemon and paprika.
My Brother in Law liked eating them, but he just doesn't want to keep fish. He usually takes his boat out on the Gulf and has some great catches, all released. We had bad Red Tide and high winds while we were there. We opted for the bay and a Pro to show us where to go. We each caught 2-3 sea trout over 36" that day, and a number of smaller trout. No Red fish for us, but others were catching them. Had an escort on the way back to the dock.
