Done, added this to the comments section at the end.
The current rate that blues have been taken out of this lake have really made a difference the last 5 years. There really needs to be a limit on the larger fish taken from this lake "actually all lakes". We go by the 10 lb. rule on our boat and anything over 10 lbs. is turned lose. We can catch plenty of eaters locally for fish frys without removing the breeders from the waters. We love to come to Texas to fish and do not keep any fish when we are there. I've heard storys of 30+ lbers being lined up on the docs caught by juggers, no lake will take that kind of pressure for long. Something really needs to be done before it is too late.

I did it. It is hard to estimate the lengths and weights of keeper fish. I just know an eater when In see one.

Just want to point out that sometimes these surveys do not go the way you want because fishing is really good! If the surveys shows that fishing is great with lots of quailty fish being caught they may not change a thing. If they do put a slot on the lake taking out the under fish is a must if you want the slot to work! I hope things go well!

That's what I was thinking....
