See the Lowe Pro post above, multiply it times the black fish post. Square that and multiply times PI and you have the correct answer.

Personally, I think the fishing is great the way it is. We all have our little quirks and habits we like. I have mine, but I would never even attempt to make other people go by my personal "rules". To only keep 14 inch fish is amazing, but not doable on an entire state lake regulation due to it destroying the fishing on every smaller lake. Not enough cormorants to eat enough small crappie to keep from over population.
