Agree w/others no sense to keep fish under 10" meat wise....like a bench mark of 11" & above actually.....also like anything else, as a fish ages it bound to get slower & w/ predators swimming in waters like ours in Florida, it's probably the reason our state record will never fall, just shy of 4 lbs.....but I sure would like to be wrong.....
