For me, I’ve taken to catch and release for at least half the fish I catch and anything over 2.00# goes back in the lake. Maybe they don’t survive, maybe they do, but that’s my contribution. I think the time of year released heavily impacts there survivability, so I tend to keep more when the water temp goes over 80.

There was a time when i kept every legal fish I caught. If I had to guess, my keep rate is the same but the numbers I catch are way up.

I’m not a fish biologist but I would think a 12” size limit would be a bad idea. Wouldn’t that allow taking the big fish out of the lake? ��
