I think the Doc screwed up when he said he only kept deep hooked fish. Looks to me like it worked out to a perfect limit!! Nothing wrong with that, if ya wanna keep a limit, by all means have atter!! I'm a meat hunter too, and proud of it!!! If I can get my limit on my weekly fishing trips, I keep it, and take it home and eat them with my family!!!!! I'd rather catch my own fish for our weekly fish fry, than buy some crap that's been thrown around, and handled all to hell. At least I know what I'm getting.
