[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 230699, member: 412"] While it's hard to watch a week of 30'-45' deep pre-fishing plus the tournament and know that pretty much every fish that comes to the top is going to die, the tournament anglers aren't even a blip on the radar of fish mortality compared to the several hundred non-tournament anglers out in the same depth doing the same thing. So, let's not falsely believe that I have a problem with the fish the tournament anglers catch, that's not it at all. Regarding the $$ a tournament brings in, I say the same thing that I do about NR hunting. None of them during their pre-fishing and tournament spend anything close to what I or any other avid angler does over the course of a season. Don't tell me how much I need your $$ when hotels, bars, and restaurants in Devils are full with the exception of maybe a few weekends in the early winter and early spring when the ice isn't safe. Take your "Fishing Philanthropy" and throw that shit in a week old leech bucket. My issue with tournaments and tournament fishermen is pretty much along the same lines as that of WJSchmaltz. They're loud-mouthed asshole dickheads with no common courtesy or politeness. Rude at the ramp, unmistakably unashamed to move in and/or push you off a spot while on the water. Lastly, an awful lot of them continue their douche-baggery on land whether they're in the bait shop or the bar pushing that, "Don't you know who I am?" bullshit. [/QUOTE]
