Unless kids are involved....I am a FIRM believer that we will never fish the trout population to extinction on just rods and reels even if the limit was 50...this is an argument that has been carrying on for a couple years now around here and carried over from the other sight..why do I think this??? Well I'm fortunate enough to fish a place on a weekly basis where I literally witness hundreds of thousands of trout in front of my eyes..and on some days they are catchable and on some days they're just not...y'all guys over there don't always look at the bug picture...y'all think big lake and big lake only...big lake is a great fishery and no doubt the top trophy fishery in our state and top 5 on the gulf coast....but it isn't alarge enough fishery to even begin to hold more than 2% of louisianas trout population....for a man that only fishes 1 or maybe 2 % of louisianas trout population to say another man has no reason to keep his 25 fish limit is just wrong in my opinion...peep around my parts would look at you like your crazy if you brought that up...my kids will fish trout and their kids will and even my kids kids will cause of this...where I come from a big trout is a story to tell at the camp and nothing more...there is no way that 25 fish limits will put a dent in the trout population..I know this cause I've watched hundreds of thousands of trout spawn at multiple rigs in BS....I'm not trying to step on Antibes feet here just sayin don't tell a man he has no reason when there's nothing wrong with wha he's doing...

Amen brother. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but don't try and shove your ethics onto other people. As long as folks ain't breaking the law, then have it. I ain't gonna hang the lip on you or tell you to do otherwise!
