Forgot to mention that you were a star, being featured on one of the slides with a LL salmon from a recently new stocked body of water. F&G agrees that it is a LL.

Also the skillful angler program slide featured you (like 3 times lol), Chris, JD, and Mikey and others Im not familiar with I think.

Dave thanks so much for the comprehensive summary. Really appreciate as I'm sure the board does you taking the time to spell out the highlights of the meeting.

And to NJSquatch, congratulations on the mystery being solved and your first LL!

Funny how they mention putting walleye in Spruce Run could really upset the balance. Then I look at the amount of fish they CRAM into Lake Hopatcong, not getting it here.

I dont think walleye would upset the balance at spruce. The forage is ample. Could always trim back on the numbers of hybrids and pike they stock. Hybrids dont breed so theoretically they're more easily managed and I'm uncertain if the pike spawn successfully. Doubt walleye would spawn even with feeder creek access. I think it's worth a shot with a few thousand. See what the impact is...

I haven't seen an announcement yet on the 2018 winners but I saw Mikey posted a picture of a poster I am guessing from the F&W booth at the Edison Show with our mugs on it.
