US Fish & Wildlife banned tournament fishing from refuge waters back in 2001. Does anyone here really think that was done just for the helluvit or do you think they did so to protect those fisheries?

Come on guys, we all know tournament fishing is bad for the lake(s) from a conservation standpoint. I don't really see why that needs to be debated at all [common sense].

As for the economics involved I'll go find an accounting forum as soon as I start caring, last time I checked this was a fishing forum.
