You are surprised the majority want to catch bigger fish? 70-80% of those who care feel this is a positive step to have a readily accessible, high quality fishery, with higher catch rates and larger fish. The split on your poll is similar to the F&W survey.
You are talking about the same basic regulations but instead of 12 inch limit it is increased to 20 inch. Because the fish are significantly larger...1 fish is worth at worst the same...and more than likely more than the previous 3 fish combine.
The lake currently has both size restrictions and length restrictions. No "additional" regulations are being applied.
