Snrub,
FWIW IMO if you decide you are getting too many SMB, those 12 to 14 inchers are perfect for filleting and my bride and I think they are way better than LMB as table fare.
Sounds like a great project. Looking forward to following along!
Bill I have heard that the SMB are better eating than LMB, and what few smaller (gill or gut hooked) LMB we have eaten tasted pretty good to us.
But it it will have to be offspring to these stockers for us to eat them. I think I would just have to cry for a while twice if we ate one of these 6 to 9 dollar apiece fish (plus hauling charge). Once when I filleted it, and once when I ate it. After paying that much for a small fish, I feel like we ought to name them.
