I think Bill's suggestion is a good one to start some "catch records", and I have talked to one of our most frequant fisherman and he has agreed to start recording his catches.

I have also observed that most of the panfish do seem to be in the 4" to 6" size w/o an obvious abondance of the smaller sizes.

Also, the practice of Catch and Release has been extreamly popular on this lake for years. Perhaps we should start keeping the smaller bass to thin out the LMB population so the remaining LMB will have more to eat and grow larger?
