If you are after numbers and want to keep the fish then Willow is not the place to go, they only allow 25 fish per day.

Why would a person need to take more than 25 quality gills unless he supporting a fish fry at the local VFW... :o

I give my parents and siblings fish because they like to eat fish but they don't fish.  I give my neighbors fish, always nice to have a few neighbors get together for a fish fry.  That said 25 fish won't go very far, besides I like to eat, I can easily eat 15 pieces of fish if I am hungry.

Maybe we need to broil our fish, considering how hard is was to walk on Saturday!
