We have a very good population of Coppernose. Should we be culling some of these fish? Personally I will have a couple of fish fries each year but I don't actively remove the CNB's just for the sake of thinning.

KINGFISH, my thinking on culling CNBG is to take ALL female and keep the males that come closest to having pure Florida CNBG genetics,

Fish below are some that I stocked 2009 but lost most big fish last year drought and low water!
