Jeff Poe will also tell you that when he fished int he late 80's he could go a full day on the water without seeing another recreational fisherman. Not trying to be a smart a**, just going make to the point I made earlier that you can't do an exact comparison of creel limit by holding all other things constant.
That being said, even on the days that i could catch 25 trout, i would start throwing them back before then because i don't want to clean that many. So I'm good either way.
I would like to know what inchspinner asked about how many 10lbers have actually been caught. I wonder before the boga grip how man fisherman got an acurate reading on there fish and how many so called 10lbs were actually that big.
