Can it be like thunder dome ?

you could put us on bungy cords and we could all beat each other with dull gaffs and boga grips

Great Idea
 

It could be like family feud with fish billys, or snagging trebbesl. It certainly dosent look like there will ever be an agreement. Meanwhile the the stocks of the smaller bass continue to go down and we concentrate on whats left( the big breeders that hopefully will be able to correct the problem in the future). Just like rome burning while nero played the fiddle.

I recall in years past the commercial fishing receiving government bailouts.
There is a possibility this will occur again..

Is there going to be food served at the match? beef, chicken, fish...... or gamefish?

says who?

:smash::smash:

Says who.
I stated it is a "possibility"
You heard of the expression "history repeats itself"

The commercial fishery will claim financial hardship and the government will comply like wall st, banking industry, home foreclosues, extended umemployment benefits, etc etc etc. This has been done before when big brother buyed back fishing boats from New Bedford and other ports due to fish catch restrictions.

I see

hopefully we have learned from history

there WILL be a tea party if that happens again, I'm pretty sure of it. I wish there were more public outcry last time that happened.

I don't see bailouts when the housing market goes down the crapper and home builders and contractors are without work. It must be nice to have friends in high places. I guess fish populations cycle as well as our economy.

that bailout worked just like a gun buyback, u gave them an old wooden broken down piece of crap and they gave u money for it!

then u took the money and went and bought a newer, faster, bigger boat and kept doin what u were doin before.

i just love big "progressive " governments.

u go obama!
