Mike,

As an avid Sharpe Smallmouth fisherman, I can appreciate that there needs to be a reduction in the system. What bothers me, is that when GFP relaxed the restrictions, they did not offer any protection for the larger fish. I have no problem with you keeping limits of sub 16" fish, but when I see several 18+ on the stick,(or larger) it gets under my skin. If you werent getting your walleyes, maybe I could understand the shift, but it doesnt seem to be a problem getting your eyes. I can only hope that the smallmouth situation on Sharpe is being very closely watched by the powers that be..
