[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 168189, member: 1372"] I need to preface this with the following:"I don't want this to turn into a discussion on slot limits." I am curious on what the peanut gallery has for an opinion on this. The discussion came up in our boat last week. A boat next to us caught a pretty good sized female that according to the angler was 22". Me and my fishing partner believed that fish should be released to do her thing, but unfortunately it went into this persons live well. So this has me curious. What is everyone's thoughts on keeping a female in the spring or anytime? Do you set a size limit? For example, keep anything under 20" and release everything over? Release all females? Keep everything under 25", etc? Personally in the spring I don't like to keep any fish over 20". I have heard that bigger fish don't taste as good, and maybe my taste buds don't work right, because I can't tell the flavor difference between a 25" and a 14" walleye. They all taste the same to me.
