So let me see, We, the tournament anglers that not only catch and release, spend our hard earned money on lanch fees, camping fees, travel exspences, do whatever it takes to keep the fish alive that we do catch, help create habitat that helps the fish growth and now only to be told that now that only ones that can take advange of it are those who wouldn't think twice about bring home a 7lb'er to eat!!
(Am I missing something? ???)
Both Alex and Bree are excited about this coming jamboree with good cause. If this "rule" doesn't get changed, I don't think I'll subject my kids to it.
They were allright when they were only able to catch bass, but when your kid pulls in a 3lb+ largemouth and you tell them that they can't keep it because some bone-head changed the rules, they may not be as excited about going out the next day. It's allready hard enough to get your child up and ready at o'dark thirty without them thinking about that they are limited "again" to what they can keep.
I can't speak for all parents, but my kids like to be able to see the structure their fishing, which is usally largemouth areas. Hey Chris let me when you get that letter done, Connie and I would like our names on it with the rest.
