Absolutely correct that electronics have helped speed up the process of eliminating the dead water to find the good water Bigguy. I don't hardly ever leave home without it. Especially when on a new body of water. If it's a very small lake and I have graphed it on at least one occasion I may leave it at home on the next trip.This reminds me of when I got my first graph. I went icefishing this day and noticed all the baitfish under just under the ice. I had alot of lookers inspecting the new gadget. After they walked away I brought my jigging lure up to where the bait was, and jigged it 3 times and wham , there he was,,,a 12 pd lake trout. This fish was returned and I proceeded to catch many more like it that day. Everyone else was fishing right on bottom without much success. I was there too, till I would notice the bait coming to the surface,, and off course you know the reason they were. Catching and keeping big fish like these,, can devastate a population in no time. If you want a mount,,, get a replica done,, but return these big ladies,, if at all possible. Also folks should limit there catch , no matter what the limits may be. I like my fish fresh, so it is rare for me to even keep a limit of anything. Folks should by all means have a good meal though. There is a special feeling to harvesting something from nature onto the dinner table. A sort of satisfaction of being able to provide .
