I hope you teach better than you learn.
Teachers must do well to fish with ZB's.
Larry tried to explain it was not a kill only tournament and provided information stating such at your request.You seemed unimpressed by his efforts, yet still admit you fish tournaments with your club.Are these tournaments strictly C&R?If not,how does your conscience justify participation?How do you justify fishing eels when they are in a state of decline?
Keep in mind I am not criticizing any angler who is conservation minded unless they are hypocrites.I will also add that picking a scab on the internet will never accomplish anything besides a well worn debate.This passion you have for bass would serve them better at a regional level.Thank You.

Not a hardcore angler SD. I've been fising my whole life, but not as a psycho. Just an enthusiast. About 3 years ago I got into surf casting for bass. Sorry if my PB doesn't match someone else's, but it's still my best, and I'm not ashamed of that. Oh, it was a 45" fish I took that same morning as the 42" you guys have glommed onto. And the tourneys I have fished are just club tourneys like the MS challenge. I do it to support a good cause, and for the social aspects of it, not to kill fish and be a cool guy. And as I said, it is on rare, very rare, occasions that I fish eels. Why? Because I dont' fish to catch, I fish for the satisfaction of being out there in the surf. Catching is a bonus.
As for my profession and the reel I fish, that's silly. I work hard and do extra to buy the things I enjoy.
