Oh, no!! We just got you back and now you're leaving again??
Come on you never lost me.
I am still on holidays with my family at the Polish seaside, using a holiday acquaintance`s laptop at the moment. I have already taken 3000 pictures in Gdańsk. I think I am going to start a new board thread for this city.
I like to eat particular types of fish. I brought home 20lbs of Walleye from lake Erie. It's a great eating fish and expensive to buy ($12.00 per pound) if you can even find it. The Salmon in lake Michigan is good too, but I always put them back because they have a job to do. For me it's the thrill of the hunt and the enjoyment of nature and friends while I fish. I don't really try to feed myself by fishing and hunting, but I easily could.
If I could catch a ham and swiss sandwich on rye bread, I might change my mind on "catch and release".

Lake Michigan was fine when I left it. As always there are challenges and great successes. The fishery always has been dynamic and faced problems that were generally controlled with ingenuity and common purpose. Nature is always on the move and the only static ecosystem is a dead one. One of the latest guests has been the Goby fish. I believe you may be familiar with it. It caused some alarm but the native fish have begun to feed on it with some ferocity. I doubt it will be eradicated completely but control seems very possible. Generally speaking, the lakes have a fairly strong arsenal of predator fish to choose from and it becomes a matter of firing-up the hatcheries with the proper fish to deal with the problem. In a related matter, the zebra mussel problem has actually had benefit to some lakes by improving water clarity that benefits certain native fish.
Almost forgot.. My great uncle Vincent (from Poland) lies somewhere at the bottom of Lake Michigan. He died from pneumonia while working on a fishing boat in the early 1900's. Perhaps fishing is genetic for me.
