I have no beef with the commercial fishermen. They have a job to do and I hope they catch as much as is allowed them. I think your point about walleye in LSL is probably the same point many of us anglers have been making about Pigeon and other lakes. F&W are haoppy to see thousands of small skinny walleye instead of bigger trophy fish. It is wierd. I can go to Pigeon and catch 100 walleye but not one is over 2.5lbs and they are super easy to catch. Additionally, they all look skinny - like they are being stunted. At least at McGregor, I can catch different sized walleye (even though it is only C&R) so I am really not sure what is going on.
