I only keep fish that are 1/2 over the limit just in case. Heck over on the Ten Tom the length limit is 9" we rarely keep anything less than 11".

GLAD THE STATE GAVE THEM ENOUGH MONEY TO GET THERE . LOL .

Not recommending anything just saying. Every time I have been asked by the wardens if I caught anything and I responded NO, they never checked my Livewell. Now I did not have fish each of those times, but I still thought it was strange. It has happened 4 or 5 times. over the past two years.

Some friends of mine got burned by the old style Frabill crappie checkers where the fatter fish cant slide all the way down to the end so they measure bigger than they actually are. They said not only did they get assessed fines but the wardens took ALL their fish, illegal and legal. Is that true? I think that would hurt just as bad or worse than the fine.

Had a 16" slab shrink to 15" on the ice a couple weeks ago, not that it matters legally. That game warden is a pretty good guy, he was one of the two that gave me a ride to the ramp a month ago when ducker's motor died.

I always carry a "Golden Rule" for that very reason and because the wardens use them to check people's fish. This is especially a problem at butla with the thick fish that come from there (or use to come from there before Handi caught all of them).

Why do the wardens take all of the fish?
