I do not agree with the idea of keeping all your limit, but I do see where raincheck is going with this idea...all though the mortality rate on kept fish is extremely high, killing them all is not the solution. I agree 100% with the catch, photo & release method...also, they should put a cap on the number of tournaments they hold on KY waters...I understand its all about money, but it puts a beating on KY fish.
Guess I really don't have to worry about that anymore since the tourney bass fishing out here in Southern UT is practically non-existent...just a couple tourneys a year...so I don't have to rely on the good graces of tourney anglers to leave me some scraps .
