[quote perchsuck]Harvest the hell out of them? You must a person of below average intelligence.* [/quote]
you're passionate. That's good. Now that we've established that you have some passion, let's discuss the issue: trophy pike.
How to maintain it?
Biologists (those silly fools) that manage the reservoir, and just happen to have years, and years of data, are suggesting that pike populations are nearing the top of the curve -- suggesting that a crash could be looming in the future. How do you prevent this crash, or rather sustain the boom? You MUST control populations. How do you control populations? Harvest.
you simply cannot allow the pike to continue to spawn and recruit more, and more, and more, and more pike. As population numbers go up average size goes down. Eventually, you will have a lake full of small pike with no large pike.
You can call people idiots all you want -- but without any sound and logical arguments, you end up looking like the idiot.
So, your turn. Let's discuss. What's your rebuttal? Name calling doesn't count.
