The small ones are not good eats, but they make excellent Bug bait...

Not to be an ass, or stir up conflict, Scoot, but do you realize whether for eats or bait, you can only keep 5 of that size in a day. They have been so non-existent over the last couple decades, the little guys like that should be released (except for the 5). Keeping any over that isn't going to bring the boneheads back to their previous good population. Ones that size, though, are one of the best WSB bait.

Yeah I realize the limit, all released
My bait tank is to small for them
But they were cool lookin! Plenty
Of teeth on them little bastards

Yeah, I wasn't trying to accuse you, just thought I'd inform you, as some people don't know all the regs. When you said "You got over 15", that can be interpreted as kept more than legal. Keep in mind if your tank is full already and you haven't tried it before, pinning a small bonie on right away may be the ticket to a big White.
