I'm guessing your one of the idiots, the point is fishing is advancing an today's fisherman can target big females weather it be spring or ice season, so the statements that you can't hurt the lake by hook an lining walleyes, that you can only hurt them with nets, was true 20 years ago but now a days with sonar and flashers and better boats,all the new equipment a guy can go out there and catch a 60 pound bag of fish. Every female fish that is taken out of the lake hurts it to sum extent, it's pretty obvious the reason why the walleye numbers other than algae an other effects, it's the advancement of the modern day fisherman has more a range an knowledge of the lake. I'm not going to lie I have kept a female fish before but never a 30 incher we caught multiple this ice season everyone went back, they taste bad an most guys that keep them take them around show them off then throw them away, what other reason would you keep multiple 30+'s for? One is fine for the wall the rest are just to see who has the bigger D!#%!!!
