Isn't the problem a top heavy walleye pop? Why can't people spear walleyes anyway- long as they stay in the limit for whatever lake they are on?
Great question!
In Minnesota we have a holier than thou mentality towards how a critter or finned swimmer gets harvested. It is ok to fish for muskies but lord forbid anyone ever keeps one, cause fishing for sport alone is such a higher plateau than for fun and a meal.
The catch and release plague is worse imo than the catch and keep everything. And I release a ton of fish and get the ideal, but it has turned into a fanatic type of fundamentalism.
