Well Jeff Poe has several of the top 10 fish on fly rod including the record and I believe most if not all were caught prior to the limit change. I know there is no way to keep record of every fish over 8 pounds caught but just talk to anyone who fished in 80's or 90's and still fishes to this day, they'll tell you about the change.

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.

Nobody even weight trout back them...they all got the knife..... Terry Shaunessy said he has caoughy over 6000 6 or 8 lb trout if I remember that right in trout masters book

I know my dad had lots of numbers of big trout in the 6-8 lb range in some pics

When they were catching all those big trout back then, do you think there were more trout getting caught overall?

Even if the limit was 25 back then, I would imagine there were less saltwater fisherman then there are now.

So It seems me based on what we said earlier that a
25 limit w/ less fisherman=15 limit w/more fisherman so it would almost be a breakeven.

I know this.....That is quite possible if that Boga you got was passed down from your dad. It seems to "weight" a lil H-E-A-V-Y.
