I just got back from the Shasta BASS Open and man, couldn't believe this thread!

Anyway, something I would like to mention, which is not entirely based on the original question (sorry John!).

I like how many people are talking about the law. Now my question is (don't take this the wrong way...anybody! :-) )...

Have you ever knowingly broken the law? i.e. speeding, using illegal substances, jay walking, being loud in a quiet zone?

What makes this any different? :P

Now, for those who mentioned taking kickboat/floattubing somewhere, I have to ask the question, who started the affiliation with BASS? :+

Sorry to get off the subject but this is a great thread! Thanks John for not making it a you vs. me argument! :7

Let me make it known I respect all of your thoughts, arguments, and ideas. Let's also remember we have to work together to be able to make our sport bigger and better. If we have division, like I know some of you have, we will never be able to take this sport to the next level.

In the upcoming months you will see some things WE (SCBBBC & BNT) will be doing. I'm including everyone in this and will give everyone (whether you like me or hate me ;-) ) a chance to participate. Does anyone want to be on ESPN??? :9
