    Really the the state needs to change the way we tally a limit of fish, we need to go to a pounds of fish not number of fish. This would be a self imposed size limit based on each individual lake . If a lake produces large fish you can take a limit of fewer fish and if the lake produces small stunted fish you can take more,removing more small fish. An example would be, say the sunfish limit would be 6 pounds of fish, you could only keep 6, 1 pound fish but if the lake produces 1/3 pound fish you can take 18 and doing so would improve the health of the lakes by taking fewer big fish and taking more small ones.This can be set up for all fish base it on the average size of the fish in the state and the current limit gives you a poundage can give you a poundage for a species of fish. This way the one over 20 inch or what ever the size can go away. The DNR has a chart that tells the weight based on how long the fish is so carrying a scale is not needed. Just my opinion but i think it would be the better system and help the lakes and not need a list of different lakes with different regs. I think it would work. thanks for commenting.
