re: proposed speck and redfish changes

I have always thought the Clients should only be allowed to take home the fish that they catch, and not a bunch of fish that the guide catches. How often have you seen a guide catching fish after fish, while his Clients only catch a few fish.
I once watched a guide count how many fish had been caught. Their boat was close enough that heard him say that they needed 7 more specks to limit out.
I then watched the guide catch 6 more and a Client caught one. Before the guide counted the days catch, he had been steadily catching specks. I wonder just how many specks that guide caught and kept that day?
Maybe when making any "NEW" changes..... Maybe the GUIDE should be restricted to only catch and release and spend more time showing his Clients how to catch fish.

In the Big Lake area...... back in 2006 the limit was lowered to 15 specks and only 2 above 25" could be kept.
How does the LDWF justify the need to lower the limit to only keeping 2 above 19" size fish? Why not stay with the 2 above 25" limit?

I really don’t care one way or the other on this, but this is a very strange hill to die on. As long as the customers aren’t taking home the guides share of fish, what difference does it really make? If a guide takes some people out from Oklahoma that can’t catch fish in a bucket, does it really make a difference if the guide catches a few for them to bring home?

I'm not sure what that has to do with what I'm saying. I didn't even know guides were allowed to take part in the boat's total limit and fully support reversing that.

If I’m fishing with a guide and he’s catching fish after fish, and the clients aren’t, I’ll blacklist that guide with the swiftness, and make sure he’s knows at the time how unhappy I am. Most good guides only pick up a rod when I ask them to to help establish a pattern.
I have no problem with the changes on the face of things, but until we stop letting foreign owned commercial operations rape and pillage our resources with nothing in return, I’m not interested in the rope getting wrapped tighter around our necks.
