Catch & Release

You can expect a big debate on this one. I once posted my thoughts about keep females prespawn on a maumee river run forum. Hell, I was looking over my shoulder for a lynch mob. The way I accept the lashing I got was.... if people are obeying the laws and regulations then leave italone. Our opinions on this one are typically very strong one way of another.
I'm sure you're gonna see facts and statistics on the issue for both sides. Sounds like there was a good hatch last year so I put my faith in our dnr lawmakers and catch my limits and go home. Fish On

This is just like the shooting hens debate in duck hunting. Studies show it doesn't matter, but many don't believe the studies. Everyone has their opinion, and you know what opinions are like.

Lol....hahaha....

Someone needs to just lock this thread.

Knute, that is an interesting first post for a new member... makes me think either you aren't new and you are just one of us regulars having fun or you really are a new guy that is looking for a battle right off.

If you are new. Welcome. Have fun...

By the way. I know the correct answer to your question, but I'm not going to tell you. That would be like me giving my GPS coordinates to my favorite "honey holes" in a public forum.

Enjoy,

I was wonderin the same. Seeing the identical post on another forum I am a member of got me thinkin maybe knute wants to get a bunch of people fired up. Have fun with it, I'm outta this one. Keep it civil, guys.

I see alot of talk on this forum about trolling, but usually of a different kind.

The science on this is all across the board. Personally, I quit killing those big females a long time ago.
