The temperature here raised to around 50 degrees on Sunday do I decided to use up some beemoth and red worms that had been fermenting in the fridge for a few weeks.I caught about 30 fish in a couple of hours.I caught 8 6"-9"BG, 1 skinny 18" LMB and the rest were 9" plus golden shiners. One of the GSH was almost 7 ounces. What are the pros and cons of keeping these shiners? They were stocked in June of 2015 so I am guessing that most are sterile because of parasites due to being over 3yrs of age. I remember reading also that they are voracious nest robbers. Are 9" GSH too big to be eaten by a 3 to 4 pound bass? I have seen a few fusiform minnows swimming in shallow areas of the pond which has to be YOY GSH so should I keep or cull the larger shiners? If so,what should my cull parameters be?
