Or if you know you only go gill fishin a couple times a year keep all you catch on those few outing and you have fish in the freezer for the whole year. Thats my view. I went prob 5 times last year prob kept 300 im guessing (all bigger than your hand). Fry 20 of em once a month or so and then give a few to my grandparents. Right now im out and wish i woulda kept more.
