Sort of like the ALABAMA Rig as long as it's legal do what you like & the ones of us that actually like fishing tournaments will to. Think about it, it's legal according to the Fish & Wildlife rules so don't condem anyone for abiding by the rules. I hate seeing anyone eat Bass too, but I'm not going to rake them over the coals because they keep a few as long as they're doing it legal. More power to them. Wonder how many Crappie, Catfish, Waleye or the average Striper fishermen actually practice catch & release unless they are like me & don't want to clean them??? Not meaning the die hards as they are very conscious about Striper mortality. I absolutley believe there are very few Crappie fishermen that would cull much that's legal. Atleast none of them that I know do & that's several. I understand your point, but it's 100% legal so why raise cain about it ???
