I have no strong feelings about Bass tournaments one way or the other. After reading all the pros and cons above, I will say that I doubt they will ever bother me as much as the extremely heavy non-fishing use of public waters - the ski boats, the pontoon boats constituting floating celebrations, and the "personal watercraft."
