Did some math on it. There are 10 parking spaces for boat trailers - yes that's all - it is a smaller lake.
If you have 20 fishermen keeping fish each day on Fri, Sat, Sun - and 6 fishermen keeping fish each Mon, Tues, Wed, & Thur, And they did this every day for 365 days in the year (impossibile with ice cover).
They EACH would have to keep just about 9 fish a day, every day to get to 39,000. :evil:
I think the harvester is 'overharvesting' the lake. :evil: Granted these are young fish the harvester is killing, but young fish either grow up or feed the larger fish.
Maybe next time I'm going to fish behind the harvester, as often as they harvest, there have to be predator fish following it. :?
EDIT: The next time the boat launch guy starts lecturing me for keeping fish from HIS lake - and going on and on about how terrible I am for eating HIS fish, I'm going to reach in my car and hand him a copy of this report. He can have something else to worry about than me. BTW, I keep fish about 3-4 times a year - for the 30+ times I go - even then it is usually when fishing with kids or people who never get to go fishing.
