[quote muirco]I will agree to disagree on the trophy lake trout topic. 10 years ago you saw allot more big ones. One day a 20 lbs laker will be a monster at this lake instead of a possible 50 lbs one. Just because DNR has a regulation, doesn't mean it doesn't have some negative effects. I appreciate everything they do, but still think it is a 
day for trophy Lakers. Hopefully people keep all the pups and release the monsters on their own.[/quote]
Yeah, I don't get keeping the big ones, very few taxidermists can get the color right on skin mounts anyway. I would rather have a nice digital picture framed on the wall or a replica made. I only keep the fish I plan to eat, and even the 6-8 pounders start to get mushy/fatty and won't keep those anymore, give me a limit of 2-4 pounders any day!
