I am bringing this thread back up to use it as a place to compare yearly results after finishing my spread sheet data.
2017 logged 109 LM caught, 47 culled, ave WR 89.5
LM <12" caught 59, culled 31; ave WR 86.6%
+12-15.5" caught 33, culled 14; ave WR 90.6
16"+ caught 17, culled 2; ave WR 94.9%
Tagged 7 new LM and re-caught 8 previously tagged fish.
372 BG caught, 63 were culled- these were 8" or bigger fish.
WR on LM is up overall from 2016 by over 7%
I am pleased with these numbers and plan on continuing to cull LM under 95% and larger BG.
Again and again, if it was not for this forum, my fish population would not look like this. Thank you, all who have offered advice or suggestions. Whether that was to me directly, or to others with similar questions.
Forgot to add that the culled bass weighed in at just over 100lbs. I ate the culls over 9", cut off the tails of the smaller ones for an easy meal for grandma bass.
