Yeah true....but are all these boats twice daily running like mad to get to their winning fishing hole and make that last minute cast and fly back to the marina to beat the time limit. Probably not. Two totally different situations..

You're right, on the 4th of July and Memorial day weekend we have several hundred drunks making several runs pulling skiers and tubes with no regards for anyone's safety. Plus the hundreds of jet skiers acting like total idiots. How many bass boat operators have you heard of getting a DUI while out on the water during a tournament? I'll take a lake with 1100 bass boat any day because 99.998% of tournament fishermen know the rules of the water... Dan
