They have yet to present any substantive proof that there is even an issue to begin with.
People keep wanting proof of everything but it doesn’t exist for either side of the argument. It’s incredibly difficult and expensive to conduct the types of studies needed to feel really confident in the conclusions. Even if there was enough money and resources to conduct those studies we could never complete control for the amount of variables at play in these complex ecosystems.
What you end up with is one side that wants to err on the side of caution and another side who is concerned with the thought of never ending government regulation.
Ideally LA anglers would self limit but we have a long long long way to go before anglers here start thinking about conservation on the level of FL or TX anglers. The good news is we have some of the most passionate outdoorsman in the country so I think it’s possible we eventually get there.

The problem is the ecosystem is nowhere close to the same and that level of conservation would be pointless. There is nothing Louisiana anglers can do to produce the same size fish found in either Florida or Texas.

Why not have a website where guides and recreational anglers can go to post their trip details so the wlf can have a better idea? In 40+ yrs of fishing outside of a handful of stops by wlf I’ve never been asked about my catch.
