I hear ya loud and clear as does just about everyone who views the pages of this website. Unfortuneately, the percentage of all fishermen who come here/give a s**t/undrstand what needs to be done- is only about 15% (my guestimate) The rest just want to fill their freezers with as many fillets as they can catch.
A week ago some big bass pushed in close to shore. Myself and the guys I fish with (among the 15%ers) were among the first to get into these fish. One hispanic dude pulled up in his station wagon, jumped out and proceded to land and 4 large bass up to 45". He put each one in the back of his wagon. When questioned, he pointed at his wife and said, "two are hers". By the time the EP got there (they were called), he was gone with the 4 breeders. The worst thing was his comment when questioned- " I have not caught any fish this year so I am keeping whatever I catch"
The cell phones went into action and soon there were dead fish up and down the rocks.
