thanks for the feedback Cullbuck. This is/was a gray area. Like I said...We tried to release it but it went belly up after trying to swim off and just floated back to the shore line? This is one of those "Newbie" ethical questions: Should I have just left it there on the rocks to rot? Experts chime in as I surely don't want to break any rules.

Thx

Awesome catch!! Glad you were able to make use of the meat.

I might have missed this on an earlier post, but sometimes the fish need to have their air bladder vented or they won't be able to swim. Here is a link...

That's a heck of a 29 3/4" fish. Congrats my man!
