I don't personally participate in competitive fishing, but the guys I know who do really seem to go to great lengths to protect the resource. The guys I know (including Shorty) who participate in some LMB tourneys are knowledgable, enthusiastic and caring about the bodies of water they fish. I just really don't have any problems with anybody who follows the law--in both spirit and letter--and enjoys the outdoors. That's one reason I like this forum so much, because for the most part, people don't show disrespect or disdain for other's way of doing things.
