PBH,
Now you've done it! You've got me really LOL!! What kind of tape measure are you using? Are you thinking centimeters are inches? Maybe one fish out of your pictures might be 20+ inches. Hopefully your not keeping any of those on size restriction waters. I think the law reads over 22inches not 20. Give me a break with your quote, "I had plenty of days where all fish caught were over 20." Do you really expect me to believe that kind of nonsense? I fished Minersville alot in the early and late 80's, and I'll tell you it was better off then than it is now. At least the fish that were caught were fat and healthy. Not long and skinny due to over population. I've caught hundreds of fish out of both Minersville and Kolob over the last several years. What are you using on Baker that you're catching sunfish, Worms? How long have you been fishing Boulder again? You look pretty young in those pictures. I've been fishing it for about 25+ years. Used to catch some nice 2 and 3 pound brookies but not anymore. By the way, I'm not crying as you say for stricter regulations. I'm just saying the current regulations on Kolob and Minersville do not have to stay the same every year. That, in my opinion, is not proper management! Since you asked, I want regulations that change yearly based on the current situations. Catch and release, size restrictions, turn everyone loose are not always the answer ever single year. Regulations need to change yearly based on moisture, harvest, samples, etc. etc. Things need to actually be managed and then laws need to be enforced by not only the DWR, but sportmen reporting violations as stated in a previous post. Lawbreakers need to be reported!
