I think it is worth discussing. You are right this applies to everyone who fishes and maybe the tournament anglers should set an example for group. I don’t have a problem with tournaments when it doesn’t hurt the fishery, but I just think releasing fish to die is wasteful. Catch and kill for any fish caught deeper than 35’ would be ethical in my opinion.- - - Updated - - -Their sponsors support these events and market their products to all of us. I think it is reasonable to ask the question on fishing ethics.- - - Updated - - -I don’t complain about sex but then again don’t ask my wife that same question.....If this is a non issue then why does the game and fish issue announcements on this situation every summer? Yes it doesn’t affect Lake Sak at this time with the high walleye populations, but some of us remember when fishing wasn’t so easy that anyone could go out and catch a limit so this could be damaging in the future. This could also affect other fisheries with struggling numbers.We are talking about what is ethical and what is legal. I’m not saying you should keep a limit of dinks, but if you are releasing 14-17” fish to die because they are not big enough to show off at the cleaning station then you need to re-evaluate your life! You legally can catch and release hundreds of walleyes from deep depths, but you have to admit it is a waste if most of them die?</blockquote>
