Fish2Win makes a good point. Alot of the department of fish and game divisions around the country buckle under pressure or make decisions based on tournament demands and constraints. This in my opinion is wrong and should be based on what's best for the long term health and vitality of a given fishery. Let's see what's more important, having a lake full of catchable 3 to 5lb. fish or having it where somebody can catch their five fish limit of dinks to win a tourney. When Dale was talking about the slot years ago, fishing clubs had meeting's with KDFW and begged, borrowed and pleaded to stop it, because they did'nt think they could weigh fish when it passed. Sure it made it harder but everybody fishing was faced with the same challenge, so what difference does it make. Come'on KDFWR, step up do this, and the hawgs will come. Almost every lake in the nation that has gone to this has improved the fisheries tremendously.
