[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 322675, member: 7608"] The issue is not the entire fishery crashing. It is about improving opportunities to catch big fish. It's great now. It could be even better if more big fish were released rather than killed for a leaderboard when they would have been released otherwise. The discussion is not about keeping fish to eat or put on the wall; it is about a considerable number of very large fish that take a long time to reach that size being killed only because it's tournament day. How many 24"+ fish have been killed on tournament day in the decades this tournament has been running? How many more 30"+ fish would still be out there if all those tournament fish were released? The Missouri/Oahe system and Erie are very different waters. And you are correct. I strongly dislike tourneys, and this is only one of the many reasons. [/QUOTE]
