When you see the "Pros" fishing the freshwater lakes, do you ever see non-participants there on the same water? Dad's with kids, couple of buddies, anyone else? I love fishing alone or on a deserted stretch with a couple of buds, I will not enjoy getting crowded out. If someone happens along, I don't mind. But I can see schools getting spooked by prize seeking yahoos with patches all over their shirts that says those companies now own the fish. You really can't compare black bass to a migratory species like stripers, I guess. I suppose we'll have to wait and see and pray for the best.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
