Cought 8 the size of the smallest one.. all went back to grow bigger!! By yhe way seems to be tapering off the fishing right now there head out deep in to lake huron.. cause of water temp.. from ware we were.. two weeks ago we were thrown back medium fish of about 20 inches or so. now we're keeping them and thrown back the 13 to 15 inchers any how enjoy photo if it pops up??

You released them after having them on a stringer for awhile?! What’s the point of that, they would be too stressed and more than likely die.

Those in photo are dinner.. the 8 that got release were smaller fish that were thrown back to grow.. if I was to fillet small fish there would be no meat on them so why waste a fish for no meat they were legAL to keep but to skinny to fillet..  ?? We threw them back right away with no harm done.. and took less then our limit so no biggie .. sorry you miss read that..

Gotcha, sorry for the misunderstanding. There are those people out there though, and ones that keep them till they catch something bigger, and toss back the smaller fish that is half dead.
