The big difference here is the cumulative poundage format. It encourages large quantities of fish be killed to make points.
I got no problem with tournaments and think they are fun. I got no problem with taking fish home to eat. I got a problem with killing fish to accumulate points in a tourney. The format of this tourney is what I'm protesting , not the tourney concept.
I'm really surprised at the number of posts that say something to the affect that ...."well we already do this wrong and that wrong. Why get upset about doing this tourney wrong?"
Its like saying...."I already cheated on my wife last year. I did it again last Christmas , what's wrong with cheating on her again tomorrow?" Just ask your wife if she goes for that logic??
