Utah should ban all bait completely where they have slot limits

[Fowl-Hook]

You Hit the nail on the head THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE SLOT. As the fish grew the slot was increased to Keep the majority of the fish in the slot. It's criminal to take a 18" fish home and enjoy it for dinner but you are required to return fish to the water that have no chance of survival. The fact that bait is allowed greatly increases the mortality rate. Anyone who has fished Strawberry has witnessed floating fish that are not managing to survive the experience of being hooked deep. I prefer the idea of taking fish home to killing and leaving them at the lake.
