As kids, we would kill 3-4" perch and sunfish to feed the gulls. The adults explained that these fish would compete with similar sized bass and pickeral for food. What are the current thoughts on this??

And heres another thought - Because ling arent regulated as a game fish, im not even sure if what they did was illegal. It very well could be, but im not sure.
A life is a life, be it a 55" muskie, or a 5" rockbass/perch. Why kill if your not going to eat it?Quote:

Back in the days when we used to get ice on Colpoys Bay every winter and there were splake and whitefish to be caught there would be ling laying all over the ice because nobody wanted them, would see a couple of dozen every outing anywhere from 2 to 10 lbs
