One thing for certain is that if we live 4-6 more years and nothing is changed we will know the effect of the current conditions .
it absolutely amazes me how many fish reach the 12-16” range every year . But will they continue to be able to do that . Time will tell. ! Nothing against live scope and if I could afford one I’d definitely have the biggest they make. But I wonder now that you hear of lots of folks chasing down these monster slabs in open water on these lakes that produce big fish what’s going to take the big uns place ! I keep lots of fish every year for my self and share with those that can’t go and I catch quite a few 2# plus fish but I very seldom ever keep fish over 13” on my lake just because I don’t like a real fishy fish and those that are bigger than that to me are real strong .
