I agree we should let some go back to spawn. And i like the 10'' rule, that's the best eating size to me. But we all know about Weiss and its 10'' rule there. I fish Westpoint and there is no size rule there, and it is not uncommon to have a 1 1/2 lb avg. I'm not trying to put the size rule down, but i think it's the # of people not the # of fish. When u go to Weiss on a weekday the parking lot is full, that is ur problem! And their all out of state!!
