In other words, once it gets harder to catch a keeper sized fish some people would give it up.

Maybe if SRD picked the right sized fish to keep, natural spawning could offset the number of fish taken out of the lake. Enforcement would be a key issue as it's allot easier to poach a fish a little smaller/bigger than the slot than it is for the tag system.

I'd definitely chose a slot size over something targeting big spawning fish but I don't know if it'd be a better option over the tag system.

Might be a little different if there were more lakes and more options, then a slot size might be the ideal thing.
