Good report, but I am sure the F & W are not happy to see that the Bass are doing so well in Badger again. Was it just 10 years ago they killed off Badger because of the Bass? I suppose that this is one lake that we would do well to keep all legal bass we catch (check out the liberal limits on SMB espceiclly in the regs.)

So many of our wonderful lakes are connected to other lakes via streams.
And a total kill IMO is impossible.
I caught a real nice LMB at Badger. Thick, Fat, but in the slot that needed to be turned lose.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for catch and release, but a man has to eat from time to time.
I bet I have released 10 times more fish this year than I have kept.
but man did that LMB look tasty!
