imho, it is USUALLY those who

DO NOT catch COWS on a regular basis that
pipe-up with these holier-than-thou rants!!!

whatever happened to "to each his FRIGGIN own" ??

i've stated my position ad nauseum, yet
since trollers "new" i'll reiterate~~~~~

i release 85% to 90% of what i catch, and will
GLADLY kill a big fish for a Van Staal, or a Toyota, or
the Team Trophy. the research is all over the map on this one,

but from what i've read and been informed about, the latest data indicates to me that we need to:

FIX the FORAGE, slot before and after the 25#~~35#'ers, and reduce the daily amount to ONE per day, or many surfrec's would simplify things by saying ONE @ 36" and up. and that is only the BEGINNING, please don't get me started on Omega Protein and their spotter planes and purses, or the Hudson River Poultry Industry, or mycobacteriosis, or algae blooms, or the DelMarVa Dead Zones, nor Racers vs Fatty's~~EVEN!!!

while you are absolutely right that the Big gurls carry the eggs of the future stocks, this Stock Assessment puzzle has many MANY more pieces to be placed/figured out than simply saying
"lET THE BIG COWS LIVE". it is, however, a noble stance that is recognized and practiced by a growing number of this esteemed assemblage; yet, are we not ALL quite capable of making our own CHOICES when it comes to "How now, 'green' COWS??"

welcome troller!! now, surrender thy PLUGGGS!!
