I already know if I'm going to keep a fish when I catch it. i'll release the fish as soon as its brought aboard. i'll never put a fish in the cooler to be released if I catch a bigger fish. if I want a big fish i'll release my last fish caught and not keep my last fish to have my limit but will keep releasing smaller fish until I catch the fish I want to keep. but i'll never release a fish that's been placed in the cooler.
