I'm sorry I didn't answer your question Dave. We have three catfish that are about 10-12 lbs. The biggest LMB and SMB are about 18" long. I would love to have 4-5 individuals of each species in the 3-6 lb. range. I would also love the have 3-4 walleyes in the 5-7 lb. range and 3-4 drum in the 10 lb. range. This is just to have a few "WOW" fish. Most of the predators must be in the smaller range though to control the pan fish. First and foremost, I want everyone to catch lots of fish and it is easier to do this with pan fish than it is with predators.
Yes, Ty, various state fisheries often spend a lot on put and take but not always. Nebraska has many urban fishing lakes. All LMB and bluegills are catch and release but they stock catfish and have a limit of 3 per day.
