Mike,

I agree as well. I don't think they took into consideration that when the original Schaefer Tournament was around the bass were way more plentiful, and many were commercial fishing at the time. I think rather than focus on quanity, they should focus on quality.

i've only kept fish for food.

never for money and never for glory.

OTW's 2nd major mistake in less than a year.

A shame Captain, it would have been glorious.

Give them a chance, maybe they'll change it. At any rate, no fish have died yet..
Tourneys are a Catch 22 for the people who put them on - you can't give away big prizes on the honor-system, especially on the cape.
