Those baby wipers have some good numbers this year and by next year they should be getting some size to them. Seems like you had a problem last year, with losing fish like that from your basket, those cats seem to quite good at escaping.I have to replace my fish baskets about every two years. They take a lot of abuse between dragging on the rocks...full of fish...and big nasty catfish head butting them to create escape routes. The baskets do a good job of holding a lot of fish and keeping them alive but they don't last forever. I have lost a few fish from them over the years but I just chalk it up to "unplanned conservation". Kinda like "longline releases".
