Yeah, Steve, it takes a while for attitudes to change. Bass anglers are far more conservation minded these days, hopefully this will gradually lead to changes in catfish anglers, too. The tools, knowledge, and sheer numbers of fishermen now require us to be good stewards if our kids are to enjoy the sport in the future.
One thing I really like about Pond Boss is the emphasis on limiting harvest of the biggest bluegill, redear, coppernose, etc. Even more than catfish, they've been thought of only as food (hence the name panfish) without much consideration to their importance to the fish ecosystem or trophy potential. That's beginning to change.
