Interesting article but I have no idea whether the issues raised have
merit or not.

There's nothing "sporting" about that tournament, not the way it is set up.

I don't think any "tournament" is sporting. I fail to see why anybody
catches more than they can eat. Piggish.


I thought those tournaments were catch- weigh- release?

That is even more inhumane. Wear the fish out, injure it, beat the
crap out of it putting it in a live well, hold it out of the water for
an extended period, and then hanging it to weigh it, before it is
dumped back in the water. Most of those mishandled fish probably end
up shark bait.


If it's a tournament where the biggest is the winner, then word will be spread as to the size of
fish caught. The little ones will be immediately released. Only the few in contention will be put in
a tank and weighed.

At the bass tournaments on the Potomac, the fish must be able to swim away by itself to be counted
in the weighing. Granted, it's still rough on the fish, but probably not as bad as being eaten.
Other than the occasional bull shark, the bass don't have much to worry about - except our beloved
snakeheads, of course.

Thank goodness those Potomac bass have an ichthyologist and advocate as
knowledgeable as John Herring speaking up about what worries them.

I agree. You should be pleased that someone other than the all

Krause is willing to spread knowledge among the unwashd masses.
