No matter what regulations are enacted in Louisiana the results won’t be replicated due to that

I wasn’t referring to regulations. Picking up trash, investing in public opportunities, fighting for clean water, and actively engaging in various conservation efforts outside of just commenting on social media/forums are just couple ways they participate in conservation.

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 have absolutely no problem with people who do this. None at all

It’s all bull shite from a handful of yrs with tons of freshwater and colder than usual winters.

Let’s throw all the research from LDWF out the window. At the very least, we know that habitat degradation and fishing pressure are not going to get better. We are eventually headed towards a time where stricter regulations will be absolutely necessary. Some, like myself, slightly prefer erring on the side of caution and others don’t think it’s worth the effort. At the end of the day, we can all catch as many fish as we want and as long as we want. The only thing anyone loses with the regulations is a few extra extremely costly filets. Others are free to disagree and I genuinely understand both sides. It’s the absolutely bs, unfounded counter arguments and deflections that perturb me.
