Well look at it this way. When there are 1,000,000 mouths to feed and you cut that # to 750,000 or even 500,000 it gives those mouths that are left a better chance to get bigger faster.
Good lord, give me a break. One thing is for sure, Rend is not hurting for fish or bait fish to feed them. The limit needs to be 10 inches or bigger and no more than 15 fish per person a day. The fish in Rend are not stunned and they have plenty of food.
