    I’ll be honest and admit to keeping a 28″ and 25″ earlier this summer. I haven’t fished in about 20 years and didn’t know any better. After cleaning them and finding them full of eggs I felt pretty bad I’d almost rather catch a limit of 15″ saugers other than the thrill of landing a big monster. Live and learn I guess, now if it’s over 20″ it goes back most of the time.
