[QUOTE="TNReb, post: 5861074, member: 676"] I will also add this... ... if any group of anglers has an incentive to take care of the fish, it's the guys at the highest levels like the Elites. Dead fish do them no good. I remember last time the Bassmaster Classic was at Guntersville. They took every fish weighed in back to a state hatchery (or some place like that) and kept them for a period of time before releasing them back in the lake. I think they only had 3 dead fish. Pretty impressive. If any damage is being done to fisheries, some of it may be from every single weeknight derby that occurs on about every single lake in July & August. There's often dead fish at nearly every single one. Carrying around the fish for 3 hours in a hot live well with poor circulation is rough on them. I do my best to take care of them. Not everyone has the same mentality. I like competing in them, so I can't complain.. but our lakes are getting pressured soooo much from all of the little tournaments. [/QUOTE]
