My intent isn't to create tension or anger, but I can tell from some of the responses that there is simply a lot of misconceptions and biases about the causes and effects of spear fishing in our state. I've been to a number of RAC meetings where DNR had to re-enforce to the fisherman present why a number of lakes are struggling to maintain their bio mass of bass, trout, etc...The answers are never spearfishing. The answers are typically fisherman NOT taking home the fish they catch, disease, invasive species, etc....
