Thanks to everybody for the nice comments,I tend to believe 25 is alot of fish for one person but with that being said we havent seen any decrease in production over the years but that could be attributed to several things,we havent had a hard winter in along time,no more gill nets etc. The main problem we face is loss of habitat,if we lose the interior marshes it wont matter how many you can keep because you wont catch any.I have a sort of self imposed minimum if I think a fish has to be measured it automatically goes free,fish anywhere from 4lbs to 7lbs get a picture and released until I catch one over 7lbs then she,s going on the wall.Thanks again ,Brian
