"I can cover that in a boat in about a minute or two in a boat." Great, but if the idea is finding a solution, you by yourself can't be the only answer, right?
It doesn't matter how much water you can cover, or even how many pups you catch. Because unless they give a handful of guys like you free reign to just kill fish wholesale and toss em, (likely? no.) your impact on numbers is limited. You can catch a limit per day, sure, but you won't keep that many, right? Raising the limit doesn't help in that case either. You need more people keeping MORE fish. That's it. Or we can wait until the fishery is really ruined and see if they slap on a "kill and keep" mandatory order.
I've only eaten lakers a few times, and perhaps that's my problem. But, I did not find them objectionable at all. Yes, they are large enough that a day's limit might last me most of a year.
Now, I like fish. I've had some pretty fishy fish in Taiwan. I have a broad palate, but even I don't care for planter rainbows. Every lake trout from FG I have tasted (one baked, one grilled outside, one smoked) was better than average smaller caught trout. And, I like broccoli and spinach.
BUT, I have had to talk some trout-eaters into even believing that WB or perch were edible. Let's say lake trout are hotdogs, not steak. So what?
I bet lake trout-yakitori with strong teriyaki sauce would taste great. I'll trade you the next 20 WB filets I catch for a fresh 6 pounder.
