We keep them if they are dead; throw them back if they're live and just lip-hooked. When we're done if we have some small live ones in the well and we're catching bigger fish, we toss back the smaller live ones and catch a few more big ones. Overall, we get our limit and quit. We don't put any dead small ones back. Heck, they taste just as good! Just need to grab a few more off the plate, that's all.

I agree with some of the posters that it's tough to not sort when you're limited to 25 fish. We just try to do what's best for the resource. I believe most fishermen out here are good souls and have the best for the resource future in mind always.
