I find it odd that they are upset about the bucket biologists stocking the smallies all over the western district but they want to manage them in a manner that would allow for someone to harvest a trophy sized small mouth. Those bigger females will lay a lot of eggs and it won't take long for the populations to take over and become a bigger issue to contend with. I didn't respond much on the proposed changes to the Western District as it is not my back yard and I don't fish over there very often.
