So if handling is such a big mortality issue why not let the guys looking for a fish to eat keep a smaller fish and get on with their day? I just don't get the keeping of large pike for so many years. Now you got guys going thru all those fish looking for a keeper and probably killing ten percent in the process for a fish that might not even exist and even if it did it would be the last one you would want to kill if protecting a gene pool or trying to sustain a collapsed fishery.
