No....I did not voice my concern because...AND ONLY BECAUSE...I wasn't there.
As for the culinary usefulness...I could never tell the difference when eating one versus the other...especially deep fried. That being said I'd eat cod loins or haddock all day long before walleye...Just my preference...Saltwater fish just taste better to me.
I didn't mean to rain on anyone's parade with my "sick to my stomach" comment...Just how it makes me feel. The limits are what they are and people are entitled to take what the law allows. I do believe, however, that Lake Erie is a fragile fishery and selective harvest methods will be way more beneficial for future fishermen than a "fill the box" mindset.LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO PUT A PRICE ON FUN!!!

So.............
I was in the lot and seen all the females that group caught. To be honest I did not like it one bit. It made me angry. I have thrown back all the females I have caught this year.
Now with that being said, am I to understand that the fishery is not being harmed by keeping the females? So me returning all the females won't help Erie? Honest question.
I understand that they were within the law and I guess I am just looking for the "science" on keeping females.
So if keeping females is not hurting the fishery, does it just come down to a personal preference and ethics?
Just trying to understand and learn here guys.

Wakina right on track. Target the guys who set the regs, not the guys following them! If you take issue with what we can keep.

hostility about females
To each his own. if you think you have a right to get angry over someone else's catch then say something to them, not the guys on this site. If u ain't got balls to tell the guy with the females then best thing to do is mind your own business plain and simple

Here are a couple of males, so not all of them hogs are females. These were caught yesterday afternoon. We did limit out 2 man grandpa and grandson. Grandson just loves to ice fish. I think the rivers have more taken than the lake anyway. Its more inclosed. Just my 2 cents if that means anything. Thats all i have lol.
