I practice selective harvest, and I encourage the family and friends I fish with to practice it as well. For me, with Walleyes, I won’t keep them passed 19″. Most times, depending on the bite, that mark gets moved back to 18″. As with females, I will typically turn them back into the water if they’re in that 18″ range.
I tend to believe my “restrictions” (if you will) are within the norm. How do you approach selective harvest?
