The only problem with having a boundy on chubs is that you will end up paying for it. Consider this where do you think the money for this program will come from? It will come from a huge license increase that will make you complain more about that increase then those chubs.
I'd say the DWR needs to impliment more restrictive limits on the size and numbers of fish that can be taken in these lakes that have chub problems. The only problem is that they don't or can't do some thing like this until the problem is out of control and then you're looking at killing of the lake and starting over or hoping that the bigger fish slot will help control the problem.
It's seems like most of the people here have experienced some of this over population of a "trash" fish. If you feel so strongly about helping out the fish or a certain lake go to your local rack meeting and get involved. Don't just sit their and complain and talk to each other about what you could do, DO IT.
just my 2 cents.
