By your arguement either, "all anglers should be allowed to fish whether
they buy a license or not," or, "no anglers should be allowed to fish whther
they buy a license or not."

I must have miscommunicated because that's not my argument.
If Wisconsin DNR determines that culling is detrimental to
the fishery then they should ban culling. For everybody.

Come on Ken. I understand your frustration, but when you pay for an extra
priveledge its fair, as long as the fee is reasonable, and anybody can apply
for the same priveledge. The way I understand it you are free to apply to
apply for a permit to have a tournament the same as anybody else. If you
want to cull then apply for a tournament permit everytime you want to cull
fish. Same as anybody else. LOL.

I don't want to cull. Never have. If I'm not gonna eat 'em I
release 'em *immediately*. I don't understand the "pay to play"
mentality. Fishing regs should be written to protect fisheries
and the regs should be the same for everyone.
