Northern Pike size limit helping

[travisville]

On the lake that I live on (Elephant Lake) the northerns have to be 40 inches or more in order for you to keep them. So far I am the only one on the lake to catch one that big but I let it go anyways. This limit has really improved the northern fishing. Before this limit, in the summer I could only catch about 2 or 3, last summer I ended up catching about 20. This limit has been in affect for about 3 years now. The tip ups are starting to go up on a regular basis and I catch one just about everyday in the winter. I think this restriction is a good idea and I was wondering if any of you guys have something like this.
