Quote: Also, I'm glad to see the folks who are critcal of the spear guys point out that they don't really have a problem with spearing itself - just the harvest of fish that have turned the corner from being snakes, and are on thier way to being 40 inchers (regardless of how they are taken). Perfectly said

Riverrat, i think your numbers are way off, not all people ice fishing are fishing for pike, most are targeting other species, spearers on the other hand are targeting one species, also i would say it is a lot smaller then half the 2.3 million that even ice fish, i dont have any numbers but my guess is less then a quarter of that 2.3 million, well i guess your numbers are a guess too, so im right in line there, and the last but most important thing is while fishing for Pike there is a thing called Catch and Release, and yes i agree not all make it after being caught, but there still isnt a term for Spear and Release, even tho some try it and we dont find that out till the ice goes off the lakes and they wash up on the shoreline

a lot of people eat bass, there pretty tasty when cooked right, and they dont have those big ugly bones in them, very easy to catch also, but what i am getting at is because you bass fishermen practice catch and release with bass MN is starting to get a nice population of really nice bass, and some super bass lakes to fish on, last year muskie fishing i caught several pushing the 6 lb mark.. we can have 40 inch plus pike in MN, thats just up to you and the others that spear

i have a question for you Bass n Spear, when you go Bass fishing how many bass do you keep in a day or a week for that matter? now be honest, i have more to come after your answer

Quote: One question for ya, how does it hurt the lake in your opinion? your funny Bass n Spear, you sit there and say i only take ones that are 30 inches and smaller, then post that you took a 34, then in another post you ask how the pike get that big in Holland?.......you have no solid point in anything, i dont mind spearing at all, but dont ask silly questions like how do they get that big right after you spear a 34 incher.......Let em go, Let em Grow !!

Quote: And as far as Gander go's about stocking Spearing stuff... They cant even keep stock of they normal fishing stuff, let alone spearing.. TRUST ME I KNOW!!!! isnt that the truth, dont even get me started there, wait we could start a whole new thread on this subject alone !!

go to a muskie lake that is spearable and when you see one you will know, very easy to tell

how many inch decoy?, im trying to figure out a size on that beauty, nice pics by the way

i dont think its the cost either, i think its more due to the fact that people are more in tune with the conservation aspect of fishing in todays fishing world, now im not saying im agaisnt speaaring in anyway, i just think more people are in it for the sport of catch and release now and keeping a few eaters here and there.
