Wouldn't the best thing to do for next year be having a thread for everyone to post which species than can catch in their state and choose the catagories according to the numbers? You could also switch up the catagories each year while still being fair to others.For example, in RI we have Pickerel, LMB, stocked pike (in less than 10 places), 'gills, crappie (few places with good populations though), perch, and stocked rainbow, brook and brown trout...few of which hold over.So if next years rules changed, say walleye was replaced by pickerel and pike replaced by musky, my state, as well as everyone elses, would have the same chances as before.Pretty much everyone has LMB, pickerel, perch, gills in their state.. the toss ups are basically just muskie, walleye, pike, lakers.
I was wondering that myself Bill, thanks for asking.
