Maybe they managed to slip through the bio's nets, they were all pretty small.  maybe the big ones were elsewhere when the test netting was done, its a pretty big lake and the nets arent that big. If they are in danger there I would like to see a trophy license, say pay 20 bucks for a tag to keep one over 35 pounds or even bigger, so when the record gets broken the lucky fisherperson can keep the fish if they are so inclined. |
Hey Buddy...
You said yourself you do not fish Newell very often anymore....And I know where you do to catch fish often.....and cause of your experience, you know what is working and not. If Newell was working, I am sure you would be there more often than not....We know that there are big pike in there but the quantity of fish has gone down substantially...Do you agree or not with this statement? Just Curious what you think Wayne....
