The netters always bugged me too. I didn't see them out this year, do they still do that?

I guide out some here on the mississippi river and I always ask they they want to release all the fish. But we have a slot limit that makes it hard to catch a keeper anyway. We have to throw back all fish between 20-27" and we are allowed to keep one fish over 27". So we can only keep fish between 15-20". The river really gets a lot of pressure anymore and they even close the dam areas in the winter now because of it. Having said that I caught more big fish yesterday than I did at lake erie on any given day this year, one 28" and two 27".
