Sounds pretty personal to me. . . bud. Do you really think an imaginary line on the ground has anything to do with the type of people who live on either side of it? I would argue that I am more of an Idahoan at heart, dump more money into the states economy, care more for it's resources, and take more trash to the garbage can there, than half of the people who have an Idaho-issued driver's license.
And more importantly:
legal DOES NOT = right
When there are no rules or regulations protecting walleye (which their certainly aren't), the anglers who enjoy fishing for walleye have to use their own brains to make sure they are always there to catch. You could fill up a 5 gallon bucket with males and not hurt a thing. It's pretty easy to tell the difference right now, and at times when you can't tell males and females apart, it's not quite as important.
I am definately not the type of guy who likes to rough folks up over keeping fish, but when I can tell that ignorance is guiding one's actions, I'm more than happy to help educate them on how to preserve the fish that they love to catch - and still be able to enjoy them on the table as well.
