Lets just ban tournaments. They just tear around the lakes with over powered boats so no one else can use the lake at the same time. Most fish released after being handled that much die anyway a total waste of the resource!
This is just another example of the DNR out of control. There needs to be more checks and ballances of the DNR. I'am an avid hunter and fisherman and have been my whole life. I also believe in the DNR's purpose. To preserve our natural recorces. But over the last 20 years or so the DNR has lost all of it's common sense, and due regard for the Wisconsin people that use these recorces. most of the problems that have been effecting our recorces have come from outside the state. I hear very little if anything about the DNR doing anything about it. The regulation of these tournaments is a prime example of all of this. They should have stoped at some basic rules and regulation for some uniformity across the state. the users of these recources are not against rules, as long as they make sense, these do not. Most of these tournaments are organized by non-profit organizations. With a lot of these organizations the money raised is for preserving or improving a natural resorce.
