they did not break the game laws as they took their legal limit every time they went this happened over a period of months but the effect that it had on the s.m. populations was the same, these guys believe that it must be ok because they are following the law. but just how many fish should you have at home in your freezer!!!!! a small lake like laurel cannot stand that kind of harvest & still be a sport fishery for smallmouth bass. what if everybody took their legal limit just one time a year then ther would not be any fish left in the lake. this was just one instant & ther were more, so they must be thinking the resource is being managed just for them while the majority of bass fishermen practice c&r. time for a change!!!!!!!!!
