Interesting side note, I talked to some conservation officers about the possibilty of ever getting the slot put on the smalljaws at Cumberland and they said this. It has been brought up and talked about in Frankfort several times, and some like the idea and some don't. Evidently enough didn't like it so it did not go through, however they did do a questionare poll of fisherman at the ramps and at some tourney's. They said the tournament boy's were EXTREMELY against a slot on the smallmouth because it was going to be too hard to catch a weighable smallie then. Should competitive fishing and money carry any weight in what's best for a fishery????? IMHO, the answer is no, but obviously it does.
