[QUOTE="Fisherman25, post: 298455, member: 393"] Trust me, I remember the days of tough fishing. The G&F bring it up because other states have an issue in lakes where you have a body of water that's small and bumper boats every weekend slaying fish deep. They also bring it up because people bitch about it, so they have to address it. What pisses me off, is that tournament anglers get the brunt of the beating. Last weekend there was 71 teams fishing that tourney. Maybe 20 teams were fishing over 30 foot. When you're fishing that depth, it's not slaughter fest like what's going on around the humps in 5-20 foot. Most of the time, you're lucky to boat 5-10 fish a day. You're looking for quality. But those 20-28 inch fish are more important for the lake than the 10-15 inchers being caught by regular angler right? Instant gratification.....everyone wants their 10 pounder today right? Those 14 inchers will be 20 inches in two years. And they get thrown in the water like sun sun seeds. The few fish I personally release in deep water per year is peanuts. I don't like to fish those depths either, and I will eat a big fish if I think it's done for. To sit here and hold tourney anglers to different standards than the rest is ridiculous. Until there's a solution for it, it'll happen at some level, but I don't think it's that big of an issue. How the heck are you going to enforce a rule to fish in less than 30 foot of water? And just for tourneys? When you come up with a solution let us all know. [/QUOTE]
