Most bass fisherman say they are sportsman. But when you keep 5 bass in your live well for 7 hours when it's 85 degrees outside and the water temp is 80 your going to lose those fish. I agree with limiting summer time tournaments that why I don't fish that many. you should only be able to keep 2 or 3 fish and it should be over by noon. If any of you remember fishing at Monroe in the early 90's. You could keep 10 fish in a tournament they threw more dead fish away than they released. this killed that lake and i don't know if it will ever come back.
I also agree with messing with bedding fish it really hurts the bass population.I think tournaments should be banned when fish are bedding or at least the first part of the spawn.
Don't get me wrong if someone needs some filets to eat I'm not against that,I am against putting dead fish back in the water to feed the tuttles, but there are some little thing we can do to improve the sport
