How Many is enough?

[ccarter4]

I think that fish and game sets the limits for a reason with what I hope is good information regarding the fish they limit. If you are gonna use the fish you keep, then go ahead and keep them. But you should be wise in what you keep. Keep in mind that if our fishing habits negatively affect the fish populations, then our favorite spots may become catch and release only or 2 fish spots to replenish the fish populations. I agree that if you are gonna keep fish for consumption its a good idea to keep the mid sized fish (10-14 inches) as they taste better (in my opinion) and you allow the bigger fish to reproduce, who have a better chance at successful reproduction. That's exactly why some states impose "slot" limits.
