I consider exploitation is more of what amistad and falcon did having charter boats come in and fillet piles of huge bass.
Honestly I don't understand what everyone is crying about. Instead of largemouth and spots bigger limits of under 18 smallies were brought in, big deal. No one cared when high school tournaments have done this. I think it has more to do with generally not wanting the pro tournaments there.
I think this is ultimately about doing a study so they can do tournament exemptions on Cumberland, cave run, and Dale hollow in the future. After that happens I'll get some popcorn and come on here and see real fireworks.
And btw may 19 they are doing the 12in tournament exemption on cave run. It's just a big local tournament. I was thinking about fishing it too BTW.
