we all have things we hate about fishing. i hate seeing anyone just sling a fish back in the water. I always try to release them as painlessly as possible. I also pump a Pro Air pump in my livewells and I'm positive that helped their morality by how frisky they were when removed for the livewell. Ponder this, all the jobs Bass fishing has created. The evolution of lures, tackle and boats. Without tournaments bass boats would not have been born. You that hate tournaments are just selfish . Its the money generated by interest in getting tournaments and drawing tourist that has States now working on putting big and plenty of bass in our waters.
