I think there is a lot of poaching going on.  I saw it on the news of people hooking up and tying the fish up until it gets dark.  They showed pictures of a dude who was laying down on the bank and the fish was at least 7 - 8 feet long.  THey were cutting the roe out and selling it for 50,000 dollars.

I have no doubts it goes on, but that does not effect the keeper and shaker numbers.

Doesn't effect effect keeper and shaker numbers :dunno: Please explain or never mind don't :rolleyes:

Bottom line is people ruin everything good with their greed :twocents:

It's fairly simple,  if poachers are killing oversize fish for eggs, they are obviously not keeper or shaker size... the amount killed that now won't spawn is minimal enough to not have a impact on overall population. .. not to mention the fact it would take 10+ years to notice a difference and there would be no way to unequivocally prove poaching of oversize was the root cause.
