In response to Walleye limits on Lake of the Woods
I have no objection to conservation and protection of the fish populations and waterways. I believe slot sizes and possession limits are great tools already in place.
I don't agree with different catch limits vs possession limits. If a family of four wants to have a meal, and only one of the family members is a fisherman, it is unreasonable to expect the fisherman to make multiple fishing trips on multiple days to do this. An individual should be allowed to catch enough to feed his family.
I also disagree with immediate release of fish, if it is considered a sport a fisherman should be allowed to measure, weigh and photograph the fish as long as they can do it without causing harm to the fish. A time limit for sure must be considered. The safe handling should also consider allowing the fish to be dipped in the live well or lake water to ensure the safety of the fish in the process. ie. Can be dipped in livewell as long as the fish is held (make it illegal to let go of the fish in the livewell as that could be considered keeping/possessing the fish to avoid abuse of the rules)

Keep fishing Lake of the Woods a sport (pictures and measurement needed) and a family source of food.
