i went to rodman res. in fla.a couple years ago.first time he'd been there for many years,in the 70's i think.he guided there then and was commenting on how the fishin was,he has a 17lb from there and has pics of limits with all fish in the 13-15lb range,they had a rope through their gills for the pic and went to the cooler.Now as he said then you kept what ever was legal and there were not near as many fishin then either.if the regs are followed there shouldn't be a problem,but after living on nolin and seeing what people on private docks and marinas keep...i'm suprised it takes 15lb to win a tournament.crappie and walley suffer too.
