I love Cumberland above all and any lake in Kentucky. Been fishing there many years now and I'm usually decent on the lake. It has became a frickin zoo the last several years and its going to get worse. I have grown to HATE tournaments, yes I said I HATE THEM. For the reasons you mentioned and the INCREDIBLE pressure its putting on our fisheries and fish. The KDFWR needs to wake up and look at some form of moderation. Yea I know what you guys are going to say ''It's a big lake'' blah blah blah. Well with 200 to 300 bass boats with tournaments two weekends OR MORE out of every month I can tell you with confidence it's adversely affecting out fisheries and it dang sure is Cumberland.

Now the rudeness is off the chart. It use to never happen to me but the last time I was down it was bad. High School tournaments are the absolute worst. Yea yea yea it's for the kids but that doesn't allow you to be a *******. Also I saw tons of floaters after the big one at Halcomb in late Fall.

Sorry for the rant but I'm not the only one that feels this way and it's way past old. You can't even hide from this crap in the dead of winter anymore.
