The first blue I ever caught out of Taylorsville was tagged. When I called it In I asked them how long it had been in there. We had a bigger one but the small one was tagged. They asked me the length of the fish and I told them and he said it had not been in there very long. So I basically took it out as soon as they put it in. That one conversation made me think about how many fish I take from the lake on each trip and really try not to keep any of the blues I catch on rod and reel or jug line because the tagged fish was not a dink and was perfect eating size. This limit is going to be a good thing for the Blues in this lake. I think the Channel catfish population is a little different but everyone needs to think that we are paying for the blues to be stocked and if it works we could have one hell of a fishing lake for big blues years from now. If it works and 10 years from now people are taking 70 pounders on rod and reel that is gonna be pretty awesome.
For the record I enjoy throwing a few jugs out also and think it's a blast but don't like to have more than 10 out at a time.
