Mike,

I understand your concern about budget thats for sure, but i think the 35 seconds to write and record a record fish for any catagory is harldy a waste or abuse of finances or resources. remember, this would be done at a desk, not by one of the very very few field officers we have protecting fisheries.

it may not excite you to have this, but it opens another door for young anglers, and promotes awareness of more species in our state.

its one decision where i just cant see any BAD coming from... what or who does it hurt?

but noted for sure about $$$ and time.
