Honestly the "who" involved does not concern me. It's the insane harvest rate that is occurring. The particular group involved has the time to fish everyday for months and is using that time to systematically catch and harvest huge numbers of fish. It would be no different than if a guide decided to keep every legally caught musky and pike in his boat. They have the ability to fish everyday for an extended period and could harvest a lot of fish if inclined. The impact of just one guide doing this would be severe I believe. Obviously, a guide doing this would make little sense as he would be hurting the fishery in which they make their money and thank goodness just about every guide I know practices catch and release. The group I'm observing seems to have little regard for the future of this fishery and the impact of harvesting so many fish. Even if they are doing this in a completely legal manner, I can't imagine that the bass population will be the same in the future in this area of the river and that is sad.
