Good job FishFood on your 1st keeper gill, you gotta start somewhere, although I bet your a bit on the humble side. BTW, welcome to the site!

To what, did you set your "keeper size" at? The limit is just another outing away!

He was just shy of 9.....caught a handful smaller than that and let those go. If I'm gonna spend the time to clean them I'm gonna make it worth my while

Might be the case carp....but the jury's still out on if it's the lake or me. Think I "need" to get a Vex to figure it out.

I just bought one, hard to justify the purchase, until a buddy & me pulled about 125 gills (only about 50 keepers) in about 4 hours. Know I feel much better about the purchase.
