’m always blown away at how much the average angler prides themselves on conservation in states like TX and FL.

The fisheries are in no way close to being the same. The anglers in those states have far fewer fish, but much larger ones due to the environmental conditions. No matter what regulations are enacted in Louisiana the results won’t be replicated due to that. As long as people aren’t wasting fish, I don’t see an issue.

I rarely ever have a piece of fish hit the freezer, what I can’t eat immediately gets sent to friends who don’t fish.

I don’t understand this at all…it’s also very hard to square coming off an insanely successful speckled trout year. If there was any actual evidence of a sustained decline , I’d be the first to support this, but there isn’t. It’s all bullshite from a handful of yrs with tons of freshwater and colder than usual winters.
