IMO one of the problems with angling and management that often occurs is angling frequently and for longer periods for fun while frequently utilizing catch and release in smaller ponds (probably <2-3acres). Angling with C/R in general tends to make the actual harvest experience more difficult when needed, unless the harvest method is other than angling. In other words C/R angling creates hook smart fish that are then difficult to catch & remove when needed. This is usually not as big of a problem in larger bodies of water prob >5 acres due to the number of angling man hours per ac of water. Typically as number of angling hrs/yr/ac go down catch rates go up, i.e fish are easier to catch. If one can't catch them, how do you get them out? Dynamite is no longer sold to the public in stores.
