I disagree, the regs are the reason it is a good fishery. Allow people to keep smaller fish and the lake wouldn't be able to handle the fishing pressure. The C&R mortality rate puts enough of a hurt on these fish as is.
The only change I would support is making it C&R or perhaps a slot from 70-75.
Lowering the size from 75 down to 70 probably wouldn't hurt too much but without a slot it would just mean smaller fish on average. With a 70-75 cm slot it would be a bit easier to catch a keeper and there would be a lot more 15-20+ lb fish too.
