Whats a keeper?
Van_Cleaver:
I usually look for 8'', but as mentioned above your limit has to be in relation to the water you are fishing. I also like to release some of the biggest fish for the future. Let go a 10'' the other day cause I already had the two meals I wanted. If you keep letting big ones go, you can bet there will be some bigger ones next year.
vexaholic:
8 to 9 inchers and I agree with putting those over 9 back in the lake.
Cedar2RTO:
Kept 2 about the size of my hand last night. I actually got more meat off of them than I thought I would. Anything smaller I through back.
I've never kept them before so I think I'll go with the hand rule in the future.
What are the benefits of keeping larger than 7" but less than 10"? ???
Michaelo:
Well when I pull them out of the hole and grab them if I can touch my thumb and middle finger together they go back If I can't touch I keep them depending on how I'm doing that day. But one thing that makes me mad is people who keep 5 inchers walked past a guy yesterday that had about 20 of them laying by him.
