[QUOTE="Honkerherms, post: 301245, member: 1090"] Josh, I saw your video....nice...the little guy did a great job! The little guy wanted to keep it too...nothing wrong with that. Always keep what you want as your the one catching them, but if your into the bigger girls -- and not over 28/30 feet -- throw them back for several reasons! One being ethics, the other is the Mercury content bigger fish can have in them. I believe there is a Mercury Advisory from the NDGF and ND Health Dept. for Lake Sakakawea and has been for years. I keep anything caught in 28 feet or more. I do not catch very many big fish -- ones over 20 inches, that's my luck -- and I quit at the first five too having reached my limit. I have cleaned some small fish because of this, but that is ok too when they are coming from the depths. I would rather keep them and eat them then see them go to waste when they die from delayed mortality once released! Jeff [/QUOTE]
