Generally I catch and release, but when I do take one it is usually in the low 30" range.

The challenge is that there are two ways to think of it:

1. Let the big girls go, they have more eggs etc.

2. Take one at 36" or bigger. Less fish will be caught in that size, but more 30-35" fish (which are more abundant) can breed.

Not sure there really is a correct answer. Maybe Maine has it right?
