[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 346151, member: 7608"] Makes me think of the guy I encountered on my last Sak ice outing this year. He talked about all the 40+ inch pike he used to spear in that bay, and in the next breath lamented that he just doesn't see those big pike like he used to. Hmmm, you don't say? These tournaments send 200+ boats out to kill the biggest fish they can find. Even with high growth rates those fish take over a decade to reach into the 25+ inch range. Some in the recreational crowd are guilty too, certainly not just tournaments. But to say killing big fish doesn't impact numbers of big fish in the system is foolish. [/QUOTE]
