I'm not asking you to stop catching them, I don't think I could do that my own self, but you may have to fish very early or very late for your HSB to keep the mortality rate down.
Here's that link to those 2 studies on stripers, that have the same high mortality rates on summer catch and release.

Just grab a pole with some light line or maybe a flyrod, and have at it, and I bet you'd have as much fun as the grandkids :p
