My friends and I where having a conversation about the new size limits imposed on LOTW and other Ontario lakes with record fish capabilites.There was one point that was brought up, and it being that with the size limits making it basically catch and release would this decrease the chance of catching those hogs.The theory behind this was that with the overall population increasing, would this drive the big fish (45-50"+) away from prime spots since they are now occupied by fish in 40-45" range.We where not sure as to what the answer would be and I was hoping to shed some light on this interesting thought.
