I was told in a previous post that fishing pressure had little to no effect of the walleye/sauger population yet you guys are saying otherwise? I can’t imagine someone keeping a few larger females would ruin our walleye sauger fishery on pool 4. Notice the heavy amount of sarcasm in my posts and the pointing out of how a lot of you, not saying anyone specifically when I said a while ago I believe fishing pressure is to blame for the decline in population. I was then told that fishing pressure has little, or nothing to do with it by several members. In that theory alone you should keep what you want to keep. Glad you guys walked right into my trap to prove what I have said before on fishing pressure on pool 4. I also believe that you guys posting every fish you catch is just as bad as well as telling people where you are catching fish. Basically puts more fish in other people’s boats if you think about it. Keeping large females hurts the population, putting people on fish that normally wouldn’t be on fish allows them to catch/keep more- hurts the population. When you guys figure it out let me know. Until then I will do what I want to do. Bigger fish means more meat! (Sarcasm)
