I'd rather see them stocking channel catfish. They have a much better time finding food and thriving in the muddier waters and will produce many more lbs of fillets per lb of food. But hey, I ain't no elitist. If I catch a green trout, we'll have bass for dinner. |

There is a reason limits are set. Each man makes his own decisions, but if Wildlife and Fisheries didn't want you keeping a particular species, they would prohibit or limit the take of them. See the paddlefish and sturgeon for examples.
I've never hesitated to keep fish if they were legal. I will on occasion let smaller fish go, but if everyone were to let every bass they caught go, the population would suffer just as much as if you caught too many. The fishing clubs and tournaments is where the issue arises from. Look at the Lacassine discussion. Special interest groups were the ones that got the place stocked in the first place. Now people want it to be managed for fish. To each his own. One group should not be allowed to influence the actions of others or management of a particular body of water. |

That's cool but don't be throwing shade on me by trying to get all these silly slot limits on a fish I like to eat. I shouldn't have to carry a ten page rule book to see if I can keep a fish in a certain body of water. If yall want to catch big bass go to Florida where Florida bass are native and leave our native bass here alone. Don't need any Florida anything over in our waters.

I've always thought that it was ironic that you can guide fishing trips on a public lake, but you can't guide hunting trips on a WMA or NWR.

Well we need florida bass in our waters.... always have had them... always will have them... The river doesnt need a slot limit....never said that

Nope. I can't guide duck hunts on Fausse Pointe so I don't see why they can guide fish on the same body of public water. Double standard

Its also ironic that you need a captains license to be a fishing guide.. but you dont need one to be a duck hunting guide...

You right. I pick all mine up but I am in the minority. Catfish and gou aren't gamefish so we don't have to use only rod and reel for them

There is the Northern strain and Florida strain. Why not Northern and Southern if they are native here? Why do Florida strain have to be stocked if they have always been here? |
