I have been fishing on LOTW for more than 50 years almost always for walleye. I go out often and know the lake well.
The walleye fishing did go through a low point in the late 1970"s and 1980's but it rebounded dramatically in the late 90's and early 2000's.
The fishing in the last few years has never been better. What is so different now is the number of large walleye I catch. A 10 pound walleye that would have gotten you a picture in the local news paper back in the 1970's is now so common place that it is hardly worth mentioning. It is not un common for me to catch 50 walleye on one trip ( I let almost all of them go)
I DO NOT support the reduced limit for some people. It is not necessary.
Also why is Minnesota and Manitoba who also share the lake not doing the same thing?
This is because there is no crisis as the MNR seems to think.
Leave the limits as they are
