Well I have fished a lot of tournaments. Ky, Nv, Mo, Tn and other places. As I have gotten older I have noticed that there seems to be more people who are interested in catching the fish but not with keeping them alive. I have heard of some who say you can dislocate a Bass's jaw to get a extra 1/4 inch in length. Others just have the livewells on timer and never seem to check the fishes welfare. It seems to me that everyone is more interested in the glory of catching the most and biggest for the bragging rights.I have never fished a really big money tournament so I do not know how they treat their fish. I guess I am ranting about the waste of the Bass resourse that we have. I am now leaning toward going back to the way I fished when I only had a 9 foot john boat 9 hp no trolling motor just a oar. Of course I will not go back to that kind of boat because I want to fish the big water and do not want to get run over by the bigger boats. I have always enjoyed the early morning bite when it is quite and it is just me and maybe a friend haveing fun.
