It really depends on what the DNR has in mind for that fishery. Take newton for example. The muskies are going nuts in there, which is fine, but look at the rest of the fishery. Every other species in there is swimming around with their eyes bulging out of there heads, scared shitless. You can't keep a muskie and it's hurting the rest of the fishery. If you knew how many are in there it would blow your mind. I guess my point is that using the DNR as a basis for your argument on what is ok to keep and whats not is a bad example. I know they make the rules but the logic that is used is no better in my opinion than yours or mine. Is mantua suppose to be a tropy bass fishery or a tropy planter trout fishery? Does it make sense to let people keep 6 bass of any size? I guess we will find out soon enough what the impact will be. I'm all about C&R but I won't hesitate to give a big one the club if it's within my legal rights either. But there is also a difference in what's legal and what's right.
