What is your keeper size?

[MCG1]

What size limits do you set for yourself when deciding what to keep, on the follow fish: crappie, bluegill, sunfish(shellcracker, pumpkinseed, longear, etc) and yellow perch. Thanks.

Yeah, me to... because I hate cleaning fish Lol ,but if someone wants mine to eat, I am happy to give them away.

I eat as many as I can, but my buddy and I are constantly going back and forth on what size to keep.

BREAM 8-10 , CRAPPIE 12.25, Catfish all under 3 lb. , BASS release all .

Thanks . I release all bass, and don't fish for catfish at all but would imagine those under 3 would eat rhe best. We don't catch many big crappie so usually anything 10 and over might get to the fry pan.

Then I was teenager, we were fishing next to an older lady, and she saw us throwing away all the little tiny bluegills back and was complaining, so I said, you keep those? And she said... "yeah, fry' em hard". I guess that meant she ate the whole thing. Lol

Been years since I’ve kept any fish at all.

Panfish in general, over 8. Crackers, some bigger than that. Crappie, 12 or better. Most times I lip em and look down their back. If there isn’t any shoulders, they go back. More often than not they all get a pass. NEVER keep any bass, but the 12” eat better than the bigger ones. I don’t even know what the minimum for bass is. Love me some Warmouth fillets though when they’re runnin big.
