From who I was speaking with it sounds like it could become an issue with over population of fish, then stunted growth, then followed by diseases.
"I am a catch and release angler except for a crappie, or a shellcracker trip a year, with one King/Mahi Mahi trip thrown in there". I do understand that there needs to be harvest and am all for it as long as you are doing it within the law, and ethically. I know there needs to be some fish kept and I'm for that, I just don't like to see rare or trophy fish harvested or excessive ammounts. There have seen research on catch and release only, or no harvest and it can be bad for our waters.
Ok, back on subject, sorry for the rant, it's just a passionate subject for me
