Question Are you happy with the current SB regs?

with the current state of our fishery, do you feel that the regulations in place are effective? do you think that regulations should be modified? is the 2 fish at 28"+ good? how could it be better managed?

i am kind of back and forth on this. i feel that it is too easy these days to catch a "keeper". is this really a bad thing or just the product of better management? the water seems to be overflowing with bass in the teen to twenty pound class. i would like to see these fish protected as opposed to being taken advantage of. but, i also do not think that the best thing is not to have any harvest. i liked the "slot" idea that was tried not too long ago. allow the taking of 1 small fish for table fare, and one fish for trophy status. make that trophy fish a real trophy, though. put it at 45"+. i am not looking for a fight with anyone here, just looking for some other opinions and feelings.
