Well put Jerry!!
The catch and release lake would be cool.

I felt like mentioning a few of the points that you did, but I already preach too much.

The real losers (the poachers are already Losers with a capital "L") are the kids and families who pay more and catch less.

Trout goes for $3.50 a pound at the supermareket. 3 fish that weigh 1lb. (minus the guts and gills) over limit is tantamount to stealing $10.50. The lakes just pass on the loss by raising the fee or planting less fish.

I don't know if this is even any of my business, as I wouldn't be caught dead paying to fish one of those holes, but it P#ss#s me off seeing people use this board to brag about, encourage, or condone poaching.
