agreed, smaller ones do make better table fare,
better still are the ones caught though the ice, I beleive minnisota allows you to keep bass caught thought the ice, I beleive I have read that in minnasota if you bring the fish out of the iced over water, "called Iced" it goes on your daily limmit no matter what the size, its yours to keep. It do get cold up that way for sure, and I guess they figure you cant release them fast enough.
michigan our minimum limmit for keeping is 14 inches, and our season is closed most of the ice fishing season, I say most because if we get ice before the end of december we can keep them.
I like to keep one bass per year, " no bigger than 17 inches and not during the middle of summer to early fall.
blue gill, crappie and perch are my main table fare. and these guys are what realy keep the bass from exploding, because while the bass are fry they are targeted food for these pan fish.
