It is not a cop out. There are millions upon millions that could be spent in better ways then extra netting/population estimates for every lake.
We are talking taxpayers money, not only could it go to F&W enforcement but to healthcare, road maintenance and so many other things.
Even as a hardcore fisherman population estimates/netting are quite low on my need to have more funding for and I don't feel the need to increase taxes in order to pay for more netting...
I would rather have simpler regs that can still properly manage walleye populations without having the need for extra close and expensive monitoring.
