I lkie to munch on the little ones 16 to 24 inches, the fleah is lighter, less red line, if any, just better tasting.
Give me a slot fish of that size and I will be happy.

I just think the sheer numbers of newer recreational anglers who feel the need to kill every big fish they catch.Cause they have not done it before,is a good enough reason..When you get a few under your belt you start to realize the beauty of putting em back.
I am not sure the fishery can withstand the pressure it takes in this state an many others to the south of here when the big fish ball up an make themselves so readily available
