Wow. I now know I have heard it all. Thanks to Aldo Leopold and Pogo. "We have met the enemy and they are US. Good luck dudes.
Exactly! In most cases we destroy what we love! That is just the American way in general. Always searching for the next leg up instead of enjoying what is right in front of you. In the case of fishing, the fish really have no way to adapt. They are stuck in the same bowl for the rest of their lives. I remember 35 years ago catching big bluegills one right after another all over the place. Affordable power augers and electronics has made that almost non-existent these days because people can't control themselves. Same will hold true for muskies. Although with all of the information and science out there saying it's bad to jerk those fish up from the deep in warmer temps, guys will not be able to resist the urge to hover over them and try to jig them up. Ultimately killing the large fish in the system that have evaded us for so long out there. I'm not sure about most places in the world, but I know the fish in my area that get to the 48-50" range are well over 20 years old. Stock all you want, fish like that aren't replaceable. |
