All those compelled to not buy licenses here in the metro, go for it. Less people on lakes I fish. Five fish is plenty! Win win for m
That would be best for you and lots of other people. But what about all the stuff I always hear about we “need to get more people into fishing”…”take someone fishing”? 5 panfish is a good way to reverse that.
You were pulling out every MONSTER sunny you caught before. Sounds like you will continue to do so. So what’s the difference?

Where did you get that? Have you ever seen me fish, and keep monsters? I often release many of the larger fish. But, I was able to keep a reasonable amount of fish. If I decide to purchase a license this year (again on the fence) I will be keeping as many of the larger fish I can, and would expect LOTS of people will be doing the same thing.
I realize no one cares what I do, that’s fine. We used to have a cabin on Mille Lacs and because of the way that has been so screwed up we sold that years ago. What they are doing is driving people away from fishing instead of doing the opposite which is what they always preach.
