i was just getting on my uncle fore the same thing i dont like to keep any fish realy. he likes to keep a few and when i am at the lake with him i will let him keep some of the 15in. and smaller to eat. but the last week him and the guy next to him at the house boat have keep over 23 bass all in the 3 pound range or better. and that was between mon. to wed. have not talked to him since i am afraid of how many other nice bass that are killed. dont get me wrong i will eat fish and bass but just a couple here and there but when you start talking about numbers like that and on a weekly baises. that will hert a fish population. keep the 12 to 15 inch bass but not every one just a few leave all the 15 plus bass alone. there are alot of crappie, blue gills, catfish,and walleye to eat. and they are just as good if not better then bass.

just my thoughts on it all.

thanks
