We can usually get all the 7-8's we want with an occasional 9" bull in the mix. I ask this because when crappie fishing KY Lake I see dudes keep bunches of little ones. That lake is loaded anyway, so it dont bother me. I suppose I'm on the right track. Cleaning 6" fish would only get me a cut hand anyway... Also, a new lake we fished last year was yeilding 7"-8" bluegill of which we kept none (we were crappie fishing) I dont think many people (at all) keep any out of that lake. Its about 10-12 acres, can anyone give an idea of the growth they may gain in a year. I know there are more variables than this, but will they grow at all in a year? As you can see I dont know much...
