Fish mine almost everyday. None are big enough to keep yet, especially the bass. I remove the barbs from the hooks and lures I use. Many Bluegills and hybrids are getting close to meeting the frying pan. My Dad was up this weekend and wanted me to let him keep a couple of 12" channels but told him 14" is my minimum. Take my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter with her Scooby Do pole everytime she is here. She loves it and will be a good fisherperson. We're having fun with it.
