George, I liked girls then, so fishing was down my list a smidge. Now I have one too many.
I agree about CaR. I can pull 40 a day out of my puddle, and it's management. You take one LMB out of a reservoir, and you're publicly chastised. All BOW need predator control, but public opinion has sadly changed all that.
Try being a fish taxidemist. It hasn't helped us either.
I do fine but the amount and size of the bass I take in has declined in the last 20 years.
MI is all C&R on LMB, but that has something to do with the sport industry?
Most people I know who fish, do it for the dinner table, and some sport, but usually to bring home keepers.
I have said this before, and I know it is not popular, but I have never known of anyone to purposely rig up for LMB.
No need to take this wrong, just the way it is.
George would probably enjoy hooking into a 10+ lb Steelhead, with his fly rig in one of our rivers. No need for thermal underwear if it is cold out
