As has been said previously, the impact of this report by Bob, will not be fully seen for a few years. When the anglers take Bob at his word and cull all small pike, we will be over-run by stunted fish, diseased fish etc... Why announce in a national publication? Someone who has his experience, and has/had respect(from fellow anglers and a lot of non anglers) should have realised what would happen. If a person from Eastern Europe takes a pike to eat, there is outcry (and rightly so) but now that a cull has been "ordered" by Bob, it will be OK to throw pike up the bank????????
