That's the plan, ewest!

I did have a follow-up question: I have been aggressively harvesting since May. I have only thrown 1 fish out of 300 or so back. It was a 3lber that I noticed was swimming around the gill feeder. I dropped a small live gill down on a hook and caught it within about 30 seconds. It was a very healthy 3lb fish. Nice sized belly. I have only caught 1 other fish that hit the 1 lb. mark.

These days it has become harder to find and catch the older bass although I know they are still in there. I caught 11 the other day and a couple of them looked notably healthier than in past several months.

The plan is to keep on keeping on and harvesting any bass less than 13 inches. This is the plan indefinitely.

My question is...when do I know when I am back in balance? When RW's get to a certain level consistently?
