I sent an email an told him I thought the proposal was the best possible thing to keep these lakes world class and I really appreciate there hard work with this. He responded and thanked me for the positive response. He said with all the negative responses it was nice seeing something positive, and he appreciated it. The truth is these people do this for a living, they have degrees in this field, and they are working hard to maintain our world class fisheries.

Well good to know my thinking was correct. The change is all good to me as I've fished Sardis the most myself so I'm used to the change already and even when they dropped the mll I still didn't keep many fish under 12. Heck when your catching fish well over 12 just seemed silly to keep smaller fish lol. I'm for quality not quantity anyway.
