I all honesty I don't see why this isn't a STATEWIDE limit reduction.  10 fish is a lot of fish, granted if you are keeping the smaller gills it's not as much meat.  But most of the folks I know who target gills for a meal usually have a few more folks in the boat so that adds up.  I wish there was an easy way to get a "slot limit" of some nature for gills.  Because even just 10 fish is a huge hit on the lake when you find a honeycomb cluster with 8-10" spawners and you take a limit.
