C.I ..thanks for the very informative post.
Question..in most states selling panfish is illegal..and then if it is I would be using a net.I used to have a commercial fishing license.We catch and sell catfish, tilapia and shad..BUT never panfish. Can you net the panfish? If hook and line only that seems like it would take along time to make any real money. How much per pound do you get for the panfish?and better yet..you are sitting out there in the freezing cold.WOW!!Is this a real job or a hobby?
