Since Steve & Chris live there I thought this would be a good read:

There's a lot of controversy here in the state about fishing tournaments in
general. Objections seem to be "the boats go too fast," "tournament bass
guys are rude and arrogant," "tournament anglers shouldn't get any special
priviledges (culling) over the general fishing population," "tournament guys
are killing all our fish," "tournaments ruin the fishing," blah, blah blah!

What hurts too is that the Wisconsin Lake Association, a group of lake
property owners have somehow gotten their private agenda worked into the new
proposed regulations, which make large scale tournaments virtually
impossible here in Wisconsin. Evidently their attitude is NIMBY (Not In My
BackYard) when it comes to tournaments!

Personally, I think it's terribly narrowminded and short-sighted of these
people, but what do I know??
