WI Catfish Killing Bill

Looks like this will become law soon. The bill has been sent to the governor for signing.

TOC I’d be curious of the outcome of your resolution. I introduced one in Crawford county I’ll post when the results come in.

Awesome! Glad Crawford County voted on it, too.

I looked up the bill this morning, looks like it failed to come up for a vote in the legislative session on March 28th, which means it failed.

But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t support for it, only that it it didn’t get picked up for voting. I contacted a State Senator’s office yesterday, and was told that it could easily be reintroduced and voted on again.

I presented my resolution last night, not sure how it went. I’ll post the results when I know.

Good to hear TOC

The results from the Conservation Congress Resolutions are in. My resolution passed in Vernon County, looks like Pete the Catfisherman’s did, too!

Good deal! Looks like we were the only two in the state. Better than none.

Unfortunately this became law back on 4/16. I’m not too concerned about it affecting fish populations where I fish on the river. We’ll have to wait and see if catfish start showing up in bowfishing pictures.

if your nuts enough to go noodling you would probably prefer it stays illegal

BK…..thanks for posting the link to the Missouri report.
It was very informative.
