Keep those smaller ones to make your fish tacos out of and send those bigger ones back to make more babies and fight another day.

you have too understand that's not the nature of human's, were glutton's, it's like being an alcoholic once you have one you can't stop and for some its the same way with fishing, i.e. the big perch in cascade....
Matt
also congrats on the fish taco's, it's all a fisherman's personal preference on what they keep.....[fishon]

Dale the point is you eat the fish that are 12 to 14 inches not 3lbs. and bigger !
Clearly that was the point made in the video you posted.

I'm gonna start bringing home a few of the "rats", I've always been fond of 14 inch walleye. Guess I'll try some bass. The mentality of most bass fishermen is catch and release, this video changed my mind. I'd never kill a bigger fish on purpose, they are to awesome. Breaks my heart to see coolers full of 3 pounders at cj and I think lots go to waste for freezer burn. Older fish have more mercury, that's basic math.

Thank you for posting that video. What seems like common sense is sometimes not so common. I'll definitely re-think what I choose to keep as a result of this.

Great video ... damn I feel a little guilty about keeping 2 of the bigger smallmouth I caught this past weekend. I caught more than 2 legal size ones, but chose to keep 2 of the bigger ones .... I will definetly rethink the entire process when I go the next time.

Thanks for a great video , now I wish they would change the lower limit to 11 inches . Once at Brownlee I caught 49 bass in 50 casts . All but one was under the 12 Iinch limit . Most were 11 to 11.5 inches .

Then you'd catch nothing but 10" bass. [

I totally agree with the guys who kept everything under xx inches, but nothing over that same size. If you want big fish you gotta let them get older. Keep the smaller to mediums and throw the biggies back. I haven't kept any of my biggest bass this year even though several were personal bests. I broke my personal best record for SMB's at least 4 times this year and they all went back even though I had no one to take a picture for me. I hope that I am doing the best thing for the fishery.
