overfishing, i remember on Lake Erie in the 40s and early 50s in Dunkirk harbor and silver creek at night you could look out in the lake 3 or 4 miles and it looked like a city out there from all the boats and Coleman lanterns fishing for blues with at least 3 men to a 15' boat all with handlines in both hands catching 150 to 200 fish, then going back to shore and selling them to the wholesale fish houses that were eager to buy fresh blues for 10 cents a pound. mans inhumanity.....
