Todd, I don't think we need clipped fish, and could care less if I ever took one home, But if we are stuck with them, what is best is what I have been asking. it saddens me to cast in a nice tailout and pull out a big finned hen this time of year. knowing the area, I tell my buddy to get her boy friend, and out comes a little 6lb clipped turd. so my question was just which is better if we are stuck with the turds.

Sg. thank you for your input. makes things much clearer
