Man, some of you guys are evil! I would suggest you guys read a few reports and thesis papers over the impact of tournaments during the spawn before making such comments. Studies have shown over and over that there is little to no impact on the fishery as a result of such tournaments. If the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife had found evidence to support such a problem, then tournaments would be stopped.

Plapp's is like any other quality business in the fishing market that wants to promote the sport, provide excellent service, and put on professional caliber tournaments for its friends and customers. No matter where you stand on the issue, we should all maintain our friendships and avoid negative attitudes towards others.

Fishing is fun, let's keep it that way! Don't get all mad about it! :)
