I hate to see people toss Musky, Pike, or Pickerel up on the banks and I have witnessed it by "old-timers" at various lakes and ALWAYS call them out on it. Especially at certain lakes where the PFBC has an extensive musky fingerling stocking program. I've seen these fellas tossing 20" muskies just to die....so depressing.
About the panfish harvesting though, that can often be a good thing. Ever go panfishing and are disappointed by every fish being tiny? That is because there are too many panfish in that lake and the lake isn't properly balanced to control their populations. Panfish are one of the greatest resources we have in fishing. They are delicious, reproduce in abundance, in nearly every body of water, and bluegill are very scrappy for their size. I love catching them and often times they need to be harvested.
