Great thread and some great points. I would not get carried away with who is in the majority. The majority on this forum may happen to be tournament fishermen but I'm not sure that represents the majority of the population.
I, for one, would like to see the size and frequency of tounaments regulated.
Four or five tournaments on a 5000 acre lake, on one day is, maybe, a little much. I want to see all of our lakes thrive but I would like to be able to use the public ramps and not be bounced around like I am in a washing machine all day. Maybe the state should create a season for bass to keep folks from pulling them off of the beds during spawn. We all pay taxes and license fees which in turn pays the salaries of professionals who are more qualified to manage our lakes than me and likely many more on this board.
We probably all need to really look in the mirror.

This really has been a good read, though.
