My info on the reason for the change was from the now retired head of OK Dept of wildlife fisheries biologist, Doubt he would lie to me. I am not arguing that there are tons of fish being take out or that the resource shouldn't be protected, What I am saying is let the #s speak for themselves, which by now I'm sure are skewed to match there fear, How does one go about saying how many trophy fish should be in reservoir. With shad kills and Flood control actions can you really be sure its the fisherman. compare the crappie population to what it was 2years ago, I guarantee you its not even close to what it was then, we know they went downstream.. I personally feel the estimated # of blues in our Lakes is larger than most would think, but with our current shad base its not an issue. I know several of us supply friends and family's with a bag of fish now and again, and have several large fish fries a year. I usually jug fish 4 t 5 times a year for a few days in a row at the most. I do see the fellas with the freezers your talking about, and like you said stay for months at a time. The resources required to catch some of these guys with cleaned fish would be huge. Even to have a warden camp out at the boat ramp on a weekend, Possibly some help would be better than none, that was mentioned earlier.
