[quote Gemcityslayer]If you catch a 5lb walleye in the summer and keep it.... you are also stopping it from spawning...
No different than catching it the first of March with eggs when it weighs 6+lbs.
People get really upset when you keep a fish during the spawn... when in reality there is not any difference between keeping that fish in the summer or during the spawn....same end result = that fish doesn't get to spawn.[/quote][

What if she lays those eggs before you "keep" her? []
Wouldn't you be getting babys for the future AND that trophy in the basket.
Don't have that option in the summer[
