Very well said! By no means, do I want legislated conservation UNLESS it is backed up by scientific data! I have seen the guides on Calcasieu lake PUSH WL&F to change the speckled trout quantity limit to 15 rather than 25 although WL&F told them there was PLENTY of fish to support the 25 limit! Well the guides kept pushing and got the limit changed. This comes directly from a senior agent at WL&F. So by no means do I want this to happen! I fish the same body of water for most of my crappie trips, so there is a decent chance I may catch that big fish I release again.
