{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Keep Em Wet?

If i caught a snakehead I would bonk it on the head and take it home.  Cut it into pieces and bury it in the garden.  Good fertilizer, one less invasive in the river.  Throwing it on the riverbank also works.

I release 99% of what I catch.  Sometimes I'll keep a couple if I am in the backcountry as it is easier than bringing in food.  When I was in Mexico this spring I caught a nice snook that my guide filleted and made into a ceviche.  It was delicious. 

If I ever caught a snakehead I would toss it on the bank.

Just curious on what the consensus on catch and release on the river is like? Obviously, if you catch a legal decently tasty fish like a striper that's one thing; but across the board on all species, do most people release whatever they catch? Or would you say that decision is based on an indicator of current water quality and environmental standards in the River. 

Thanks!
