I noticed that you could not come up with any proof that bass harm salmon stocks.

And most lakes could not support the fishing pressure that they do now with only 'WILD, NATIVE' fish. The wild native fish can not breed fast enough to recover from heavy fishing pressure present in our urban and suburban lakes. Especially since many of them do not have inflow/outflow streams for trout to breed in, and in those lakes that do have streams, most of the streams are compromised by development. The position you are advocating is for closed or empty lakes with no catchable fish in them.

And as for carp, some people like to fish for them. I'm not one of them. And yes, I'll enjoy catching walleye. And bass. And trout. And perch. And crappies. And salmon. And catfish. And so on, and so on.
