What is disgusting?
What's disgusting is the fact that these fish were poached. Daily limit on the Root is 3 fish per day. It's just like snagging in the sense that you don't care what you keep or how many you take. If those were all moldy kings I would say have at it...but the fact that there are browns in that bag just goes to show why people up north don't like us crossing the borders and why the ever-increasing out of state license/stamps keep increasing in price. I would be careful of what you post from now on because DNR does patrol these and other local fishing forums looking for poachers to give themselves away just as you are doing. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I'm not arguing with you, but I thought last year it was 5? Did they lower it this year?
I know they stocked 60% less b/c they are finding out that up north they are getting successful natural reproduction which is even more reason to watch what you take.

Side note: I'm not gonna tell anyone what or how to do things, but I will say if an angry cheese head see's you doing this and makes that call. The DNR WILL take all of your fish and your equipment, in addition to a citation. Losing gear is not cool.

I think we might be jumping the gun. How do we even know he was solo? And the root doesn't have successful spawn? If they do the DNR needs to change regs.

Other then that salmon don't have a long lifespan and its mostly a stock and take program. If he and his buddies have the proper stamps have at it.

It's not like he posted a bucket full of bass from buses.
The root doesn't have a successful spawn... hence the steelhead facility. And currently the big lake is starting to reproduce naturally so stocking numbers are going down. Talk to Special Ed, he has a bunch of literature on it.

Agreed....I'm curious to know the story behind it.
