Boo! Northern is a great game fish! What makes you hate handling them? Is it the slime?

Walleye snobbery, for the most part. When you don't plan on doing anything other than throwing the fish back, the slime and accompanying pervasive odor are annoying. We've been through this before, I think. I'm mostly impartial and amused by the whole thing.

I assume the season is limited this year due to fear of over-fishing?

Wikipedia wrote:Today, limited sturgeon fishing seasons are permitted in only a few areas including some locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

From whence comes that statement? The Wikipedia article I find on sturgeon has nothing on this. Probably just the usual Wiki indexing mess.
