what does lowering the limit have to do with size?


Lower harvest percentage should theoretically result in more fish reaching larger size. Fish avoiding being culled and thus continue growth and lifespan. More breeding females. More eggs that will hatch.

Nothing will be right until we get rid of or overhaul this:

quote:

Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission
The Commission is charged with the control and supervision of the wildlife of the state, including all aquatic life. The Commission operates as a policy-making and budgetary control board, with no administrative function. The Commission receives and reviews biological, socioeconomic, and other technical data and management recommendations from LDWF, gathers public input, and ultimately votes on which actions will best achieve long-term management goals. In general, the Commission is charged with setting seasons, times, places, size limits, quotas, daily take, and possession limits based upon biological data and setting fees for nonresident recreational fishing licenses, among other authorities.

I understand your theory, but every time I hear someone talk about management of their bass pond, they talk about how if you don't harvest then all you will have is small skinny bass. I know that doesnt necessarily translate 100% to trout in an open environment, but the logic is obviously contradictory to your statement above.
