Tell me whats a keeper?

[Ridgerunner]

I have heard you should never throw a perch back no matter how small. I was told that if you throw any perch back it will die because they are unable to get their air bladder back down.

( I have been told)
If the only problem is the bladder being up, you can use the hook and put a small hole in the bladder then release the fish. Keep your net close by if the fish floats net it and count it. Try it see if it works. Have a good season.
