I have not seen or talked to any haters on ball. That is not to say that there are not any there. So many shad in there it's rediculous. I would think that anyone who knows the baitfish situation would not be a hater. It is that way on bruce lake, those who know the shad problem know the muskies are there to help. I got a thumbs up by a homeowner when I released a fish there a few years ago. All a musky has to do is swim around like a basking shark and gain 50lbs a year. I have seen schools on my graph over 100 yards long!
