I read a study some time ago on gill net size that showed the lowest impact to fish population occurs where smaller fish are taken and bigger fish are left to breed.

When I fish, I like to explore and figure things out e.g. find new spots and try to figure out how fish use them. I love eating walleye and try to catch/keep those in the 16”-17” range. It’s nice to catch big fish, but I don’t fish for them exclusively.
