Just another reason not to throw junk in the water. If you lose one during the fight, that's beyond your control, but if its time to change one out, don't throw it overboard. I toss mine in the back of my boat along with empties, cut off line,etc. Throw them in the trash, back at the ramp.

I don't wear panties, your post was spot on, really don't think people were over reacting just gave them some food for thought.

I don't think anyone was either Ranger, yet. Seen enough to know what was going to come. I don't understand why so many sportsmen are blind to the divide and conquer tactics used against us. Let's ban the use of dogs chasing mountain lions into trees. Then they can't be used on bears. Then you can't leave a pot of honey for a bear. We gotta stand together and be smart about how they chip away at us. What we do kills fish and you just need to be OK with that.

I understand, look at the ban on lead for hunting. I shoot muzzle loaders, just about shut them down for hunting. Went to buy ammo the other day and I don't have one of those new ID Drivers License had to go back home and get my pass-port to buy dove loads, ??????????????????????????????????

We’ll that was interesting with all of the feedback posts.
The article was just a report from biologists about what they found inside of the bass that was making them skinny.
It was for information only. Please show me where the article said not to use them.
It’s interesting to see how some interpret the article in a totally different way that it was meant to be.

I did not misunderstand the article. It was great information that I will use to make sure my old plastics don't find their way into the water. It is also the kind of information that gets used on the stage against fishing. I was just nipping that in the bud.
