Exactly.
Tournaments exploit the resources and nothing more, shame on tha G O V for "PIMPIN" the publics resources.
Apologists will predictably respond with economic spin off propaganda "blah blah blah" local economy this "blah blah blah" tourism that "blah blah blah", theres always a $price$ and we all pay in the end...
Would there be less fishermen fishing if there were no tournaments to compete in?
Now factor in the possibility that there was more meat up for grabs, less fishermen fishing?
I think not.
I'm honestly not against tournament fishing, but it's definitely having an effect on public resources that should be allocated to the public, no offence..just saying...why not poll the public to gauge their feelings on the matter...hmmmmm wait a minute... what was this thread about again...
