Awesome Federico. good to hear that you preserve the big fish, but don't be afraid to keep some smaller ones

AWESOME FISH. AWESOME CATCH & RELEASE. GREAT ADVICE, BUT REMEMBER SIZES ARE RELATIVE. IF 7" TO 8" FISH ARE THE BIGGEST IN THE LAKE, THROW SOME OF THOSE BACK & KEEP SOME SMALLER ONES. A FRIEND FISHES IN CANADA AT RICE LAKE & HAS NEVER THROWN BACK A BIG BLUEGILL. GUESS HOW MANY 10" BLUEGILLS HE HAS CAUGHT. ZERO. I BELIEVE HE CAN BRING BACK 300 GILLS PER TRIP PER PERSON. HE HAS FISHED THERE SEVERAL YEARS & HAS PROBABLY HARVESTED 50,000 BLUEGILLS.

Great Fish Federico......

Man those are nice fish. you should cherish a spot like that if it is loaded, butremember it can be unloaded very easy. all 10 " gills and crackers should be released. keep the ones 8" and under. i have seen it many times. everyone keeps these large fish and it wipes the lake out completely. good fishin federico
