Hurricane Katrina and the bass population!

[BassMaster]

I saw Basscenter today on ESPN and they say a ton of bass have been killed obviously by the sewage waters that has oozed into the clean lakes and all the saltwater coming from the ocean picked up by Katrina and poured into the freshwaters have killed many diferent species of fish, too.  The Hurricane affected florida ( one of the best places for bass) and other southern states surrounding it.... especially ofcourse the NEw Orleans.

what do you have 2 say?!?!?!

That's pretty sad about the bass.  They are such fun fish to catch.  

A lot of people with bass boats helped rescue a lot of people who otherwise could have drown.  That effort is a tribute to the kind of people we have in this sport.

yea the one lake that poured into new orleans had just been opened for swimming 3 years ago after a 30 years of too much pollution and the fish population was just starting to come back and now they are pumping that toxic water back in to the lake

If you watched BassCenter it had a story of Gregg Hackney going into New Orleans and getting his father-in-law.

[BassMaster]

Do you guys think that the nEw oRleans should be rebuilt which would cost hundreds of billions of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?!?!?! ???

Common senses would say back it up a little and re-build.  Technolgies and building materials are stronger today.  I haven't seen anything as powerful as mother nature though.  As for the bass fishing industry in La.  Mother nature and the human race is very capable of rebuilding what was destroyed.  All the set backs our waters have endured over the years and we still have weekend pictures of our catches to display.  The Exxon Valdez, golden algae blooms, japanese grass carps, LMBV, mercury levels, pollutions, red tides, and droughts.  We the outdoors men, in order to reap the blessings of nature, must undergo the fatigue in supporting it.  Do your part for the future of the sport.
