Yes I agree Shine that everyone would like to see bigger fish, and that would mean fewer required to "make a mess" for eating. However, I personally feel that any size limits that are set are not going to be as effective as a stricter policy on the overall catch limits. I agree with your earlier statement about people keeping over the limits and a need for better enforcement. I think that the more fish you have then the better chance you have at reaching an age structure for producing bigger fish as long as the lake can support it. That is just my opinion. I mean, what has a bigger toll on a lake....someone keeping ten 9" fish or thirty 11" fish? I would think that over time it would be the latter of the two as far as fish populations and size would go. That is just my way of thinking. What would anyone else say? Still wondering what everyone thinks the size limit would do to someone that is just an average everyday fisherman? Would the fish be harder to catch as they got bigger and older? If so, then alot of average people might get discouraged and do less fishing. Or would it make them more plentiful and easier to catch? Just curious. Thanks Shine for your insight into all of this.
