A thoughtful discussion among adults is not a pissing match. Good thing too, because at my advanced age it would be more like a dribble match. It is inconceivable to me that anyone would be punished because random game fish fingerlings turned up in baitfish. There is the letter of the law and there is the spirit of the law. If I buy a bucket of minnows and a walleye is among them, I am in violation of the letter of the law but in no way have I willfully violated any law. The same is true of the bait dealers and the bait fishermen. If this years walleye recruitment is as good as it appears, that is wonderful but in no way should the shiner fishermen, the bait dealers or the perch fishermen be made to suffer for it. Perhaps the DNR agents could post signs at the dealers mentioning that walleye fingerlings have been mixed in with the shiners and ask that they be released carefully. Maybe thats not practical, but some allowances must be made. They cannot shut down the entire bait industry. Not even the DNR can expect the bait fishermen to sort through thousands of shiners to seperate the occasional walleye. I am finished now.
