MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I will take a 9 or 10 inch gill anytime that is a big fish, where is your place of fish worship.
There is hardly anyone who has the opportunity to fish everyday, let alone catch a limit everyday so i think you can throw those two criteria out. I don't consider myself a game hog by keeping fish everytime out and sorting for the ones i keep.
i just had a month straight that i could have fished every day if i wanted to. so legally i could have fished one relatively small lake, keeping 50 or unlimited perch depending the water and you are telling me that that wouldn't hurt the fishery . I believe that you could at least limit out every day on the king if you tried and got good at it. why not other places too? it is very true that most cannot fish enough to make keeping their limit every time they go harmful but some can. most waters cannot sustain heavy pressure. i believe that it is the case that what is legal isn't necessarily ethical. read the in-fisherman article. not trying to judge just giving my view and how i operate. i don't expect anyone to just conform.
i honestly dont have any problem with the 25 a day limit on panfish (bluegill and what not), however i have written a few letters to the DNR about the 50 a day limit on perch that is in our state of michigan, and mainly for the fact that it is very difficult to catch lots of jumbo perch in lakes that you once used to be able to, and i really dont see why anyone would need to keep 50 perch in a day.At the same time tho i wont give anyone **censored** for keeping their limit, they paid for a license and I'd hope they use it in any legal fashion they wish.
Can anyone explain to me what "the possesion limit" is? I thought the possesion limit was how many fish you are allowed to keep in your possesion at home. In other words if the daily limit is 25 gills, and the possesion limit is 2 X the daily limit, then you are allowed to only have 50 gills maximum in your freezer at any one time. That is what I always thought it meant.
"NOTHING" if you EAT-UM. "EVERYTHING" if they go to waste and get thrown out.
there is nothing wrong with keeping a legal limit of decent size fish.my family eats the fish we keep.
Taking a limit of 10lb walleyes while legal, would bother me. Given that is a trophy in many of NY waters, and culling is only allowed for bass, it would be highly unlikely.
thats exactly it there are true sportsman and plain old meat fisherman, nothing you can do about it, like you said you have standards that you set and so do i, live by your standards and thats all that matters, i am about 85% catch and release but if i feel like keepin some for myself or grandpa who cant fish anymore i am gonna end of story dont care what anyone else says, probably jealous cause they cant catch there own fish
