I have real problem with those who leave 100 dink perch on the ice

Ditto on that. I guess those who leave the fish on the ice and leave them there when they leave are fishery management wannabes'. I love the arguement "throw bigs ones back, keep the little ones", but then others say the exact opposite
Nothing wrong with keeping them either, it's the waste that bothers me, or the illegal fish kept, too many fish kept, using too many tip-ups etc. I see it all the time in Mass and I get their plate # and call the fuzz to straighten it out. I can't begin to tell you how many 100-200 acre ponds that get fished right out because of this. And the same people who keep EVERYTHING, complain years later that there aren't any fish. Go figure.
