I respect the professional's opinions more than the "arm chair biologists" or even the general fishing public. Sometimes anglers want this or that and then put pressure on our officials to fulfill their agenda.
My point was: just let the real experts decide what is best or what is worth trying. If they decide it's time to poison the lake - great, I respect their decision whatever it is. I never claimed to be an expert.
But it is clear they thought it was worth trying to take advantage of the abundant chub population by adding predators. It's easy for us to second guess their decisions when they don't work out. But all they can do is what they think is best - sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
