Ya'll do what you like within the limits.
The fishery may or may not be able to sustain the incredible good fishing LA has right now. I prefer to hedge my bets.

keeping just a few for you to eat and releasing the rest is everyone's choice, and not a bad one. But having limits too low and not removing a certain amount of fish from the fisheries can be just as bad as removing too many. There has to be a balance driven on what the fisheries can sustain and stay healthy. Those numbers are science based and not socially based.
