Another example of DNR ( Do nothing right )

I didn’t mean a personal attack on Jon and I think he knows that. I’ve met him at the river before and he’s a really nice guy. I also agree with some of his views on this issue. I agree the DNR is just throwing darts and I also agree that they are doing everything they can to avoid discussing tribal netting with the public. My big problem with many walleye fishermen is that if the DNR just throws a dart at smallies and is placing blame on them without any scientific evidence, a lot of the walleye guys are all on board with that. This is what confuses me and makes me angry all at the same time. Smallies on Mille Lacs is one of the best fisheries in the state, and yet many ignorant people scream “walleye walleye walleye” while knocking the sides off every bass they catch. Everywhere in the Great Lakes where there is excellent walleye fishing, there is also excellent smallmouth fishing. They are not the cause of Mille Lacs going down the drain.

Look at these fish over 28″ from mille lacs. Just laughable. Most 22″ers I catch from the river weigh more than them. I don’t think tribal netting affects a fishes girth.
