from the book by Dr. Harold C. Lyon Jr. titled "Angling In The Smile Of The Great Spirit"

"Bass tournaments can do a number on the bass species, even with their catch-and-release methods, Lyon said. He pointed to the transport process and post-weigh-in releases that prevent the fish from making it back to their natural, cleaner habitat, if they survive at all. There were 88 bass tournaments on the lake in the summer months last year, he said".

It appears I am not the only one who understands Bass Tournaments are an issue.
