I agree with Dinosaur-Fall night fishing is a privilege that should not be banned. This year was my first opportunity, and we fished both the October and November full moons. October was excellent with over 40 fish, half above slot, half below slot. We kept 4 slot fish. November was only a 4-hour trip with 4 fish caught, but 3 were from 27″ to 28″.

These were my 3 biggest fish, and it was a great experience I hope to repeat. These fish would be released by me regardless of the slot. Personally, I would release anything under the 30″ milestone. Kind of like a 21″ smallie.
