Although this story MAY have been inflated or over dramitized a bit I think there is alot of truth to it. If there is anybody out there that believes that tourneys especially the hot weather ones aren't taking their toll on the bass you are waaaay kidding yourself. Go to a local marina anywhere you want in the hot summer months after a tourney that has released around the ramp and look for floaters. Usually the next day and you will find them, I see them all the time. If there is a dock attendant that's there ask him how many he or her see's after the tourney's. Every time something bad gets said about a tournament guys are gonna bristle up like a mangy curr dog guarding a bone. This won't help things, only educating ourselves and being better stewards to the fishery's and our wildlife will improve how things are done now. Open your minds fellows and just think about it before going into full guard.
