Jeremy, how much revenue did LA get from the fishing licenses for those 11 people from out of state (assuming they are actually Texans)? If you haven't priced 'em lately, out of state license cost a lot more than in-state licenses. Those Texans are giving back a lot more to LA and Big Lake than you are.
Everyone knows LA has a better estuary system than TX, so fish are more plentiful in LA...not larger, but more plentiful. Over-fishing and bag limits that are too high ensure that LA does not have a good trophy system. Everyone also knows the hunting is better in TX than in LA. LA folks come to Texas to hunt sometimes, Texans go to LA to fish sometimes. It's all good.
BTW, did you know that when the LA limit ws 25, if a Texan kept his limit he was breaking the law as soon as he crossed the TX line? Thus, most Texans didn't take limits out of LA. Texans DO have to abide by Texas law, even when fishing in LA.
Did you know that if you have more than 30 trout in your freezer and refrigerator right now you are breaking the law? Who is worse, you or the Texans?
