Absolutley. Now Pierre, we have had a drop this year, so 20+ lb sacks are normal here. The last Everstart was not indicative of Champlain normally. I am a little concerned though about the impact of the FLW. The fish spawned late this year, and many of those big smallies were spawning females that came from my flats. I fear next year will see a big drop. We have experienced a HUGE increase in fishing pressure in the last 10 years. Ten years ago, if you saw 2-3 bass boats, you figured there was a tourney. Now, you hope that's all you see. We have seen it with walleye that are now all but non-existent on the lake. Compound the fishing pressure with commorants, and in another 5-6 years, we have a real serious problem on our hands. We don't have enough DEC enforcement on the water ESPECIALLY in VT. I have tried to turn in people before with huge stringers full of bass, 3-4 times their limit. Nobody comes out. Plus, I would like to see the min length go at least to 12". This is the only lake where 10" is legal in the state. In fact 14" would be better. It would take the pressure off the smaller fish, especially in tourneys. As I said at the rally, there are plenty of 2,3,4 and even 5 lb smallies out there, but increasingly fewer 8-10" fish. Which means the next generation of trophies once these lunkers die off, will be dramatically less. So, I may come up to St. Clair since MI is much more proactive in their conservation attempts. NY is notorious for not acting until it is far too late.
