Hmmm, ... I think I put my foot in it ...
Ooops, ...
Sorry gang, ... I wasn't in the least bit putting down the fine guys and gals who work for the DNR. I've worked along side many of 'em for years and I know how much they take their work to heart.
imho, ... the problem in many resource issues/projects/discussions, is that "perceptions" (especially of the general public) is as important as reality.
I would hate for Mr. G.Q. Public to think that a fisheries worker was "mistreating" fish from a simple photo on a web site. ... Unfortunately, ... lots of folks WILL make an assumption based on images (be it "digital" or mental).
