i hear the smaller keepers taste alot better than the biggins', being that i have never caught anything enourmous i have nothing to compare too.

I guess i just know how they fish down there so I had a knee jerk reaction about it. Anyone can find and extra 2 inches if they really want to.

you can squeeze the fork of the tail togeather and make it strech to 28

..um not really. just ask my wife!

Seriously though, either the fish measures or it doesn't. i don't see anything wrong with keeping a fish that is 28" on the nose with the tail squeezed. Are you saying you would rather see people keep cows???

28 is 28........If I was planning on keeping a fish that would be the one............

no, just 28 and above. like i said, lots of times last year i saw people around that area just bag em and take em home. no where close.

I guess if it was "that" close i, personally wouldn't keep it. No worth what could happen and the lil guy needs to grow up big and strong anyway
