i under stand your frustration.i do not keep big fish but i do like to eat crappie,white bass and gills.i also like eyes but never keep any over three lbs.i was up at pool 8 last year and we caught a mess of white bass.we kept alot but we were with in are limits.we got alot of dirty looks from being out of state.but i spent alot of money (gas,motel out to eat) and where i come from fishing is not that good.i only can make the trip once a year so i keep fish to eat,if i lived closer i would keep some for dinner and release the rest.i do respect the river and do not abuse it.
