Well clark. Even with the rather odd tone of your post, his system works well. I've fished his tx before and it worked. Isn't that all that matters? And keeping fish alive in your live well is cake. Have you ever been to a big lake like Kentucky, Barkley or guntersville the day after a huge tx? There are hundreds of huge dead fish floating. Keeping them alive for 8 hours is easy. Keeping the damage caused by catching them and keeping them in the livewell is not. Read forums from guntersville to Kentucky to lake fork to newton. It's all the same. The night after they are released again is when they die. Paris landing used to be the worst about dead fish the day after. That big marina with a small opening was sick. 50+ 5# fish dead after big tx's went through. Even in late winter it's a issue. Guntersville this march at goose pond colony had a 400 boat tx out of it while we were there. You should of seen all the dead fish. The smell and sight of it made me sick. So yeah if you can get away with it and there is trust between members then pulling out a stick is great. Besides do you want to check 15 scales to make sure they are all right on? And right on at every once?
