a couple more awesome points, with all the 4-10 inchers I catch on a regular basis, there is great stock on the up swing, which mean's there doing well, keep more smaller one's with less mercury in them, let those big female's go too keep those genetics going, and that way there's always a possibility of catching a state record or several of them... with lots of eggs each spring... they also help keep that population under control too a point along with all the other predatory fish in the lake, great management comes from the ordinary fisherman who see's the whole picture, not just the monster fillet's that are on that fish... some may not agree with this, but there are ton's of 8-14 inch fish in that lake, those are the eaters... those 14"+ fish are picture's/
's and a good fight, put back for some one else too get a big
on there face.... it's gonna take at least a 15 3/4" fish too even come close too the state record so keeping those between 14" and 15 3/4" don't need too be put in the pale(unless your tournament fishing).... this is my personal belief, you may or may not agree with this, I understand that,
