BIG OLD BUCKET MOUTH! Beautiful largemouth caught by Extreme Stripers Guide Service the other day. We were doing a corporate tournament so we had the measuring stick in the boat. Got a quick measurement on it and released it to be caught another day. I never tried to get into the topic of what fish to keep in what fish not to keep. My personal thoughts on it though are as follows. We like to keep crappie, white bass and spotted bass. We will keep a couple hybrids. All stripers and largemouth get released. They're just not that many of them in the lake. The only way to get a trophy is to practice a little catch and release. The crappie aremore of a kitchen release.
