Gonna be interesting how it all plays out,Probably better for the bass.

I hope all tournaments go to this format. I have personally seen some big dead bass wash ashore after a major professional tournament. This would be a big step forward. Everyone has a camera on their phone and a scale in their boat so even small local tournaments could use this type of format. It could only improve fishing on pressured water for us and future generations.

I don't like it. I hope it doesn't stick.

 

what do you not like about it?

In Maryland a group of DNR and others refer to it as stockpiling. Some of the solutions are listed in the document.

3 fish limit or a large fee for a tourniment.

A fish stamp to offset costs.

 

I think with all the resources here you guys could solve this issue for the Potomac. As far as the restocking comment .. last August MD DNR stocked 18,000 fingerlings in the Mattawomen.

A catch measure photo release format will work. Use snapchat or some other media format.

My first impressions is "It's About Time".

 

This is all Great News and a Real Step Forward for B.A.S.S.

 

I think this is the Rejuvenation that B.A.S.S. has been looking & hoping for a long, long time and is very much needed.

 

As a fan, I am Really excited & looking forward to this and what is to come in the future.

 

Thank you B.A.S.S.
