Reply With QuoteI am not good yet with the fillet knife, so I only keep about 10-12'' and up Crappie. Once I get better, I will try my hand at smaller perch and bluegill.

Maybe they want fish for supper? If your willing to clean them? I'm willing to let you, no matter what size you keep.Originally Posted by fishincrazy
Not certain why anyone would keep a gill less than 8" to filet or a crappie less than 10". I see guys with 7" crappie and all I can think is "Really?"

Rarely, but sometimes i'll keep fish to eat off the bone. That being the case I'll keep 6 or 8 @ 9"-10" for me and my son but the wife and girl likes the fillets. I'll keep a few 11" fish (or better) for them and cull out the smaller fish. I fish ALOT as I am retired so generally it isnt hard to always have a fresh mess for the 4 of us in a pan of water in the fridge in the barn. I think I have 3 messes froze and that's enough for the freezer as we rarely set fish out to thaw to eat. I fish year
round.
