Rex, glad you said that about sexing them. Exactly what I was thinking too, but I didn't want to appear fisheries challenged. I do the same with LMB.
I'm fine if a few get through. Funny thing is when I released the 90 pounds, about 15 stayed overnight and were nose to the net the next morning. I guess they missed their buddies.
We'll see how it goes, but no harm no foul if this doesn't work. This cut is where I'm putting in a grow out pond next year, so I know those won't get out.
