Cullin on Boom Lake

"Ken Fortenberry"

Your argument, as I read it, boils down to tournaments may be
cash cows for Wisconsin DNR and so tournaments are deserving
of preferential regs because the cash they generate helps fund
all DNR programs.

Angler's who buy fishing licenses are cash cows for DNRs and F&G Depts.
They help to fund the management of the resources.

If that's your argument, I couldn't disagree more. Fishing regs
should be implemented to protect our fisheries. Period. Cash cows
shouldn't enter into the equation.

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."

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 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.

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.

All this stuff about culling... damn.

The only thing this is going to do me is keep me on the water longer. If
we're not allowed to cull again this year, I'm planning on being off of the
lake around noon enjoying a nice fatty cheeseburger and beer at that little
lakeside bar.

Yup, the dream might become a reality:

A longstanding state law that prohibits culling in Wisconsin might be
lifted, pending the outcome of a study by the Department of Natural
Resources. Wisconsin Bass Federation president Mike Hoffman said the
outcome will likely boil down to a battle between those who support
tournament fishing and those who are against it. Click here to read more
about the issue on BassFanArmy.com.

I, for one, am dyin to get back on Boom & do some culling lol.

Ah, but the regs are the same for you as everybody else. You are free to
apply for a permit for a tournament just like everybody else.

I'll fish in my first fishing tournament after the Chicago Cubs
win their fifth World Series in a row or when hell freezes over,
whichever happens first. LOL !!

And you can quote me on that. ;-)
