Terry, if you choose to keep fish and you are within the law, then have at it. If the population starts to decline I am sure changes in the regulations will be made (see Kentucky Lake Crappie). Some of you folks need to lighten up a bit!

Show me where it said that he didn't keep them and I will apologize. I just got back from a Canada trip and we kept some smallmouth to eat (no walleye in the lake)....but this was a big lake that gets little pressure. So I am not against eating smallies.....but from a creek....come on...thats just not smart....especially if you want to go back and catch them again.
