My thought is why give fisherman a hard time as long as the group only takes their limit, what's the harm? A lot of trollers don't set their own lines therefore they are being assisted in catching fish, as long as the boat takes the limit, who cares. I suppose to really make everything fair, we should impose possession limits. You know, like no more than say 24 walleye in your freezer, maybe a hundred perch. After all, those who live on the lake can take 42 walleye and 210 perch per week every week and still be legal. Yet some of them will be the same ones to complain about a person who can only come to the lake one trip per year when they catch a "boat limit" for the day. I mean, we all pay the same price for the license, so why should some be allowed to have more fish in their freezer.
I am of course saying this with my tongue firmly pressed to my cheek, I am just trying to make a point to those who complain.
