Here's the reg...

Turtle/Flambeau Flowage: There is no minimum length limit on walleye. After June 14,
the minimum length limit on largemouth and smallmouth bass is 15" with a daily bag limit
of 2.

The daily bag limit for Smallies is the same as it is for Walleyes. What I would like to know is the ratio of caught and released to caught and killed for both species. If most folks are releasing the smallies, then the actual bag limit is less than 2 per day. So, that 15 or 16 inch walleye gets caught, kept and taken out of the population. The 15 or 16 inch Smallie gets caught and released back into the population. In addition, no protection for walleyes by season or size. Not the case for Smallies. This has to have an affect.
