Easy fix - C/R until May 15th of fish over 28 inches.
Still can catch that big one - just have to let her go.
But Sir, weren't you the one that just posted the pic of the roe laden female above? I don't see consistency? Fish caught all year are pre spawn in some manner or another. If you feel that way, why keep fish at all until May 15th, lead by example!
