I would take out every fish below 13" and every fish above 13" that is below 100% relative weight. If you use the relative weight chart for a while you'll develop an eye for what a fat fish looks like.

If you go through my thread (see below) you'll see that you really can improve fish quality by intensive selective harvest.


Pat,

+1 to what Bocomo said

With the size of BOW you are dealing with, I would consider bringing in some 24/7 anglers to help out like Tiger Muskie (TM) if they are legal in Kansas. I doubt you and your Buddies can catch enough on your own. Heck, catch what you can, sell the fillets to your neighbors and use the cash to buy the TM!

I salute your efforts!
