I totally understand. I use to fish tournaments and enjoyed it greatly. It was always for fun. However, lately I have had more tournament fisherman come and pull up cutting me off to fish a bank. Many times within casting distance. It is this rude behavior that creates a bad name for tournament fisherman. Sure, most tournament fisherman are probably not like this, but this proves why it is important for us to act "above reproach" when we are representing the sport. One item that I learned as a sportsman by my mentor was that if I was wearing camo or had a fishing pole in my hand, that I needed to be on my best behavior. My mentor always taught me to limit my privileges to ensure that I gave off a good image of the sport. This meant that I had to be on my best behavior, say please and thank you, and ensure that I do not due things that could appear wrong. Such as buying alcohol while wearing camo or had a boat hooked up. It is the image that we give off that will affect whether we have the same privileges tomorrow as we do today.
