Jack, I assume you live on the lake and I assume you own a boat. You say you want to limit tournaments... ok fine but at the same time limit the amount of times a home owner can use their boat. If for arguments sake you can only have 2 tournaments per weekend with a max. of 50 boats, then a max of 50 recreational boats can only be on the lake per weekend. You will be issued a permit that allows you to use your boat once a month between the hours of 12 noon and 5 pm... You agree?? Because we all know boat pollution is ruining the lake. Jack I just state facts. Of course fishing harms a fishery. Thats common sense. If your catching fish its inevetable (sp) that fish will die. But Jack, those fish are there for all of us. You never did answer my question about taking the 5 fish home. Thats what we are allowed to do. How good of a fishery would any lake be if we did that, even if you limited it to 2 tournaments per weekend with 5o boats total.... thats 250 dead fish in peoples freezer at the end of a weekend. Are we perfect? no but we do care about our resorce. About livwells.... who do you think invented them??? A bass fisherman. He did so , so we wouldnt have to kill our catch to enjoy our sport. My livewell is run constatnly from the moment a fish is put in it till the time they are taken out at the end of the day. Almost all bass boats are equiped with livewell timers that turn them on and off in 2,4,6,8, or 10 minute intervals. Do you change the water in a fishtank ever? is the temp. always the same? the chemisty always the same when you do it?? NO but the fish survive and grow and flourish in the tank dont they? Sounds like you have owned a fish tank in the past. What gives you the right to purchase fish that were taken from their home habitat , just so you can watch them swim in your living room. I assume if you did own a tank, some of those fish died...... SHAME ON YOU!!!! You better give up your car too cause its pollution is killing animals left and right. ****. You call all my facts lies and all your lies facts.
