As we discussed last week, I understand your frustrations with the length of the process and appreciate your continuing to work with us.Please call if you have further questions or concerns. Linda will keep you appraised of the various process steps.RonRonald D.

JimBuck Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Exciting indeed. I have a hard time catching a bullhead under 7" around here. Those yellows can get pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMF89 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That'd be great, the place we normally get bullheads out of also rarely gives up any less than 7". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplspug Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I could stop cutting of the tail's That's like taking away the bell for a short order cook. How would a flathead know when dinner was served? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Runner Z Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 that would be nice i know a spot with good numbers of fatty 10 inchers just waiting to help the cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBuck Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 So if all goes well and this were passed....it wouldn't be until the 2010 season that it takes effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
