I could give 2 shits about black bass, mush meats (I mean trout) or sitting on the ice all day and hoping a pike eats my shiner. Fishing for stocked trout is a waste of time, bass are as boring as they get and pike fishing, while a cool fish is nothing more than having a blast on the ice with your buddies. Thats the only reason to target pike through the ice - a great excuse to drink, eat and have a blast on the ice. Open water is another story.

I'm fine with them adding in other species to the record program. I think it's a good idea to keep records on all species if you have the data and not ignore them because a bass/pike guy doesn't think they should.

Personally, I think they should do away with all fo the trophy pin type programs and people who submit their information to get a pin should have to submit it for 25 bucks to pay for the pin and time to process it too.
