Valid point Eben. I'm not smart enough to know the answer to fixing that problem. Maybe farm raised have to be tagged or something. All I know is I KNOW guys who "back door" bass all season long. Size means nothing. Number of fish means nothing. They make a damn good living doing this and have their "buyers" lined up before the bass are here.

No boat, back in the suds.
