    Looks about like what we kept this weekend. Had a few decent 'gills. 3 good crappie out of about 20 that we kept. Probably pitched back 50 more that I just couldn't bring myself to put under the knife!!!

    The health threat is only a real concern if you're keeping big catfish or stripers. Fish that have fatty deposits and have lived in the lake a long time. Then the intake is supposed to be limited or avoided depending on your sex and age.
