Whatever will fit on the grill, Daymere. I don't keep by weight but by one criteria -- will it fit nicely on the grill?
I fish for whatever has gills and swims (Ester Williams excepted). This time of year, hold-over trout are fat, plump and firm (I hate mushy fish). I usually keep a couple in the 10-12 inch range, just enough for me and my cat. I also love catfish and will keep a good 2-3 pounder. Rolled in beer batter, better than lobster.
This year, I plan on going after walleye, we have some fine hatcheries around here and I've never caught one and they have to be at least 18" in length. That would be too much meat just for me at one sitting so I'll probably catch and release. After it warms up, it'll be camp-overnight time again. Sitting under a full moon, kicking back in a lounge chair, rods in holders and a cold Bud close at hand, can't beat it. I neglected my fishing last year and intend to catch up this year. Besides, it's an election year and there'll be nothing but BS bouncing off the Boob Tube this summer.
Speaking of which, if Bill Dance isn't running, then there's no one to vote for.
