That's why they are there. To be caught
  I don't get understand your thinking .You want a derby on a non stocked species and you don't think this will be damaging to lake trout? I fish mainly for lakers in the winter and I only jigg. I do very well but to see a 6 - 8 Lb laker on camera or on top of the ice is rare. I catch and release 99 % of all fish caught because of this reason ,There aren't as many as there were years ago for what ever reason it may be I'm not sure .But I think that to target them for derbies would be detrimental . Just my thoughts and I wish not to enforce them onto anyone,just a discussion in a forum.
There must be a twelve step program for this

Well the state don't manage em so the ggad damn loons eat em. They are money for the state. People buy licances to catch fish. Some prefer to take em thru the ice. Don't hear b***hin about people targeting them in the spring derby. Could be argued that guidesput a lot of pressure on them too. But your on Adrians a sack sdon't imagine you would complain about that.
"We'll the state doesn't manage me so the glad damn loons eat em." First of all, I'm not really sure what you mean by this. Secondly, they don't have to manage them because they are self-sustaining. They spawn just as successfully as perch, bass, and picks. Lastly, loons target species that are much easier to get at. Take a chill pill. ;)

These derby discussions always seem to devolve into nastiness. If we make all derbies the same that's kinda boring, right? So my opinion - we need to stop trying to make every derby the same. There are already plenty of derbies for largest overall fish, and plenty of derbies for largest fish by category. I thought a tagged rainbow derby was a nice change of pace. Some may not agree, but you'll never please everyone. My big gripe is that the Meredith Rotary club has invested less into the derby this year, and offered fewer prizes. There should be feedback going back to them on that.

Maybe they should do it so the biggest fish in each category wins a couple grand. With some smaller prizes for 2nd-5th place. Kind of not a big fan of the lottery thing.
why not spread the wealth through out the whole board an individual species derby more big winners and higher prize money per fish.it would be nice to board a fish and actually make a profit for once

It only makes sense that the b***hn about the new format comes from laker/cusk fisherman, therefore a larger target, or the shallow rainbow fisherman. The new format should draw a larger variety of fisherman therefore spreading out the fishing pressure , which one would think would be monitarily more beneficial statewide. Everybody supposedly wins. Looks like the jury is still out.

If you don't like the format, don't fish in it. I just don't see how it gets any more simple than that. Even after its over we still wanna beat this horse.

The point is economics people, the Meredeth and I quote "Meredeth" Rotary Ice Derby is just that. Follow the origins as to why this derby began in the first place. It exists as a way to promulgate local economies and foster F&G efforts. Quite simple. Stop and realize that complaining here does nothing. Sit in on the Executive Sessions, become active in the endevours you hold dear, and be an advocate. Strength in numbers do prevail more over the simple mind logistics.

I wouldn't mind winning 15 k for second biggest fish...
when chuck norris played golf for money, chuck marked down a hole in zero every time, the golf pro said, "chuck: you can't score zero on a hole." Chuck norris turned towards the man and said, "I'm chuck norris, the man proceeded to pour gas over his body and set himself on fire because that would be less painful than getting roundhouse kicked by chuck norris....chuck norris roundhouse kicked him in the face anyways
