The choice is yours but I prefer to release all calico bass and have not kept one in many years. One nice YT or Halibut gives more meat than 10 calicos. At cedros there are so many big calicos that keeping a few is not such a big deal but I really hate keeping them up here.
Call them my sacred cow if you like, but it is just a personal choice.
