9 inchers are best bet

I keep them starting about 9". I haven't bone it yet, but Iif iI was catching lots of them I think I would start releasing the 13s and 14s. They are definately inferior eating, just like too big catfish.

10 inches for me

I'm not a super perch eater so really only keep the ones 12" or longer. Less cleaning for more meat.

Keepers start at 8", Smaller ones have been in the pail before. I prefer them in the 8 - 10 inch range for eating, but will gladly keep some of the slabs. Still don't have the a wall mount yet. And I would love to catch enough slabs for a stinger mount.

9 inches and up

I'll keep, clean and eat anything over 6". I don't lie....

Still holding to the 9" fish and above.

Fish really small waters for the most part, keep 8" - 10" or so, Jumbos go back. Has worked well in keeping a balance on them for over 40yrs, luckily few locals know they even exist. Big waters and size isn't an issue

spartaman12 · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 20, 2009, 05:23 AM »

also depends on the lake, there are lakes i fish where 8 inches is a monster. and then there are lakes where 8 inches is small

" 3 beer cans long" is a real keeper.

MILLERMANKT · « **Reply #81 on:** Feb 19, 2009, 08:54 AM »

3 beer cans long is not only a keeper but one heck of a trophy, looking at about 15 inches.
