If not why not?

The culinary usefulness of a large sized fish versus a smaller sized fish of the same species would be the individual preferences of each person. Just as it would be from one species of fish to another. I have had just as many small walleyes taste skunky as I have 8lb or larger walleyes. It is what it is and they are what they are. Just as you would cut and cook a roast differently than you would cut and cook a steak, the same applies to the bigger fish versus the smaller fish it makes a world of difference in the taste of the fish big or small.
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.
