I think I'd feel bad about keeping that beautiful fish, but that's just me.

Always heard that they should be left alone, since they bring bad luck if not released.

Just seems like the dichotomy of nature. Like, aren't deer beautiful? Venison, anyone?

Mike:
For oh so many years it has always been a "Thing" that if you caught a Golden Grouper that you would keep the first one to eat and release the others
that you would catch.
I did that it all my years on the Sea of Cortez and during that time have been in the water and watched the Golden lead the other Groupers to Dinner.
It is amazing to see.
In Early Spring if you are around Pt. Pulpito and Pto San Antonio you can see this.

Congrats Mike on your fish. Don't feel bad about keeping your catch, it is your's to do as you wish. Now if you start exploiting like the commercial
guy's I might have a problem, as well as your fishing buddies 
No one like's to be out fished!
Don't get me wrong, I am a catch and (use only what you need) and release guy but not going to take one's glory out of keeping a fish, especially his
first.

Jeeeezo....It's not like there wouldn't be anything else to load your plate after a day fishing on the SOC.
What a philosophy...taste trumps beauty.
Just so you folks know...They don't really serve Panda Bear at Panda Express and Bambi is difficult to tie across your fender.
The jury is still out on Koalas.

I feel to release or eat should be a personal preference unless by order of the law. What a beautiful catch and the smile on Mike's face tells me
that he appreciated the gift given to him. I hope he will catch or release many more fish in his lifetime. And I welcome him to the
nomads....Connie

Don't the goldens revert to normal coloration at some stage of their life? The one in the photo is the largest that I've seen, all the others that I
have seen have been less than 5 or 6 pounds.

Well...my opinion on this subject here has been nothing else if not consistant over time. You've heard it before and will probably hear it again.
I honestly think there's more to an animal than just meat.
