Years past on some lakes we used to catch 10" plus gills and redears 11" plus. We do not catch them that size anymore. The older fellas I fished with had a self imposed limit of 25-35 fish per person gills and redears and we were done (70s-80s). I kept that going and still believe in that today. Besides that, I don't like to stand and clean more than 35-40 fish at one time. Not all lakes should have 25 bluegill limit. They should go back to giving credit to college students for creel surveys at lakes as they did in years past and do real time counts of fish harvested so that actual figures could be used in determining how many fish should be taken from specific lakes. The manpower is there, the students need the experience, the cost is free, and the numbers would be real.
