Ok buddy that would be great if you DID keep those 10-14 inchers. Please don't take this the wrong way, maybe I can help some understand weight of fish. (pretty sore subject here)
10" bass = 1/2 pound
12"bass= 1 pound
14" bass=1 1/2 pounds
16" bass= 2 1/4 pounds
17"= 2 3/4 pounds
18"= 3 1/2 pounds
19"=4 1/4 pounds
20"= 5 pounds
24"= 8 pounds
A 2.5 lb fish here in Utah is close to 7 years old vs. a 12" 3 year old for the dinner table. Those 5 lb bass are closer to 12 years old and if we are all so fortunate that one never gets eaten by somebody they could easily live to be 16-20 years old
Oh I better add this one in too...a two foot brown trout is closer to 4 1/2 lbs than 8
If everybody only had 20 dollars for a scale...
