Hole,
You my friend have missed the point of my question and from the tone of your email it is obvious you had difficulty comprehending my original post. I posted only with initials because I probably have met you at some of the meetings I have attended. I have no trouble catching lots of fish every weekend (and have a blast catching them) and have spent plenty on the sport. At the ASC meeting a couple of weeks ago, Anthony gave a wonderful discussion about the fishery and how DNR manages it- and I don't recall this being the issue- my questions focus on the tourneys and the need to kill the older larger fish and the perception of this in a lake with consumption advisories- that is all. I don't think I ever mentioned the law/limits etc. I personally release all that will survive- and if I want one mounted - it is a fiberglass replica. Mr. Hole- we will just have to disagree- as I have no beef with you killing them and taking photos of yourself holding them in the parking lot and then throwing them in your garden- I just think the perception is bad.
