[Mead_Stripers]

You the man! That's how I like to do it. Catch away. Mead is definitely full of the smaller stripers so they can definitely without some of them. And you're absolutely right....the smaller ones have better meat to them. I've filleted the larger stripers and noticed that their meat is very soft and fatty. When cooked, it doesn't taste as good, too. The razor back stripers especially look unhealthy. I've caught quite a few stripers that are in excess of 24" in length but they barely weigh 2-3 lbs. I mean there simply is no meat to them. They just look bad so I typically kill them off. I know...it's a waste but trust me if you saw some of these fish you would understand why they needed to be...recycled. The smaller, faster stripers are clearly getting to the food faster than these razor back stripers, hence the reason why they are so skinny and unhealthy. Anyway, thought I would just add my 2 cents.

Best regards,

Paul
