This will never stop. People who have never seen fish that big before just cant resist the urge totry and catch one. Its human nature. I was down by the dam today, and the amout of people there that had no idea about the fish was mind blowing. They just dont know any better, and no enforcement doesnt help. The chances of seeing a CO down there is so slim that these guys can get away with anything.
Closing the season from sept 1st to Nov 1 st is a great solution, and makes the most sense. Like Steve says, why is it even allowed....it makes no sense.
Just imagine the carnage if the walleye season was open during the spawn!! Its rediculous to even have an open season while these fish ate trying to spawn.
And the guys who are saying there are no wild fish......right. More ignorance. The ganny is damb close to 100% wild fish. All species. When the fins were clipped, you would be hard pressed to get one out of the ganny. They are wild. Leave them alone!!
Dont get me started on atlantics. Ive caught one in ontario, and it came in like a bag of water.
