Paul I want to thank you for getting more involved in the Ky. CDC forum even though you've taken a pretty good hammer'n at times, especially from me. :D This last post is great information!

I know you're a busy man and I hope you know how much we appreciate your contribution to the forum. It gives us sportsmen an idea of what's going on and how our $'s are being spent.

I might not always agree with everything you say, but I will listen and give it a fair evaluation based on my and other's experiences in the field.

I know that you guys base your decisions on scientific data. Sometimes that data can be sewed by variables that aren't recognized. By spending time on here with us and sharing information those variables have a better chance of being identified and taken into consideration which will improve the end product.

Over the years all over the nation it has been proved that the sportsmen have a huge impact on the success of any management/restoration program. We got the deer and turkey back and I'm sure by working together we can improve the crappie fishery.

Really, thanks for the input.
