There are potential lawyers in the group.. if not already! My take is this.. Be a better man and let them have the spots they need. Yes, you have the choice of getting in their way, but I feel we all understand what they have to do to be at the top of their profession. Each of us love this sport but who of you would go through the time and effort to be a pro fisherman...NO THANKS! I'll keep my day job! Is Arron a great fisherman.. you bet. Is he a cry baby.. you bet.. but I bet the guy that was a gentelman and let him have his spot will tell the story that Arron won 100k partially cause of his kindness.. Better to tell that story to your kids than Arron lost and maybe because I would not let him have the spot. Who would be the baby then? Fish on!!! Ed

So what are you saying?....We should shut the lake down the week they are here and just let those folks fish and no one else? How about the next week in June this year after the Elite Series is here we have the FLW Tour...guess we should shut the lake down for two weeks....wait...we have the National Deaf Tournament here the following week so that makes 3 weeks in June we need to shut it down....I could keep going but the point is taken. I am not going to file for unemployment just so these guys can have the lake to fish by themselves. They can come fish here and act like professionals. We need to act like good hosts also. A little bit of the golden rule will go a long way on both sides here.
