That brought up some great points that I think we could discuss some more here. A few things I can see right off is that as predicted by some, the committee has waffled on cutting back on the regs for another year while continuing to overfish the bass, knowing it is happening. I see one or 2 members to blame for this, mainly Tom Fote form NJ for opposing the pro conservation majority. He is a governor appointee, hopefully someone can UN-APPOINT him quickly.

I am not anywhere near as smart as Mr. Charles Witek , who wrote this so that even i could understand what is going on, but I have enough common sense to realize the bass are in trouble and the feet draggers we have creating the regulations managing the fish are no better than our politicians who mismanage our country and the taxes we pay.

I don't think it's too late to make a change for next season, it could be way too late then, the time to cut back on the killing is now.

I don't agree with their decision to wait another year and it pisses me off

I applaud Paul Diodati for his efforts, we need to do more I think.

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
