Here are some random thoughts.
1-Why can't the MDC rotate stocking of lakes? One year, bass at TR, another year walleye, etc? Same with other lakes. Why is it they will only stock one fish per lake, like spoonbills in TR? The MDC seems limited in their approach. Let nature sort it out what population survives.
Why can't the MDC stock Stripers, Wipers, Musky, Walleyes, white bass, black bass, kentucky's, small mouth, largemouth, Catfish,crappie and trout? Could you imagine a lake with all of those different fish, in different parts of the lake, at different times of the years.
2- Here is a fact. The economy will be better off if fishermen go out to eat fish, than catching and keeping for themselves. Support your local fish fry!
3- Those fish you pull out of the lake are geometrically gone for generations.
4- I'm not that good of a fisherman, so leave all those fish you want for the fryer, for me to catch and release.
5.Something needs to be done about over population of Gar and Carp. Where is the MDC on that? Absent! The bow fishermen finally do something about it and everyone on this site complains.
6-Bleeding fish need to be thrown back, for other animals to have.
7-Let's change the subject. What's a ned rig?
8-Champ, that's a joke.
