I posted this in the wrong thread:

Well is sure sounds like you guys had a great time. I am happy for all the board members who happened upon a blitz in the Canal.
What bothers me is the wanton slaughter of so many big fish. I have been into a slow pick of 20#+ fish a the Canal for 3 weeks. Night tides, out of the way spots and no crowds. Killed none and all swam away alive.
So do I sound like sour grapes?? Maybe but with the Bass stocks crashing it seems totally irresponsible of Red Top to sponsor a "kill" tournament. Everyone has the right to kill fish. It's part of our heritage.
But I think, and it's just my opinion, that a kill like what occurred Sunday does nothing to help the stocks. I figure there were 1000 20# and up fish that were killed in one massive slaughter. That's 1000 bass that will not have the chance to breed.
When the moratorium returns, and it surely will, I will be unashamed to say, "I told you so".

No boat, back in the suds.
