Who said Walleye are not Sport fish....tell that to the PWT boys

Walleye fishing is probably one of the biggest growth areas in the angling industry.

Don't let eye-tracker find out you said that

I'll see you on the water this summer, we will laugh about this , ( I hope)

Every spring the controversy over bass pops upâ€¦there has been some excellent views and opinions on this subjectâ€¦I was surprised to see how many anglers enjoy a small feed of bass once and awhile, and there is nothing wrong with that, the same as the views for catch and release, we do have to protect our fisheryâ€¦contrary to believe I keep very few bass â€¦.I spend to much time on the big water looking for Salmon

I hope every one has a great seasonâ€¦.be Safe out there, and rememberâ€¦take lots of photos

BigO et al,

I wasn't liking the way things were going with this thread so I was going to just back out, somewhat gracefully, to preseve the peace. I'm constantly reminded as a US Liaison to your Canadian Forces that there are many more important things to get one's undies in a bundle than a subject like this. I did appreciate the forum for airing my views even if it appeared testy at times. Keep in mind no matter how many smiley faces one puts on these threads the message may still be misunderstood.

I would/will fish with you any time Big O and have enjoyed many of your postings and knowledge shared on FH. Tightlines friend.

Occasionally it's gotten away from the main topic a bit, but for the most part the people that have taken the time to post have contributed to the discussion.

Not too sure I'd be eating anything that came from the stagnant slop of the Rideau river....

I have no problem with folks keeping fish to eat.....never will.....unless its a 55 inch musky..... then they can choke on the Y Bones!

Thanks everyone for your insight and opinions on this. It's pretty sensitive topic to many but good discussion can always come out of it. I think we've all had our say. Thanks Big-O for your post.
