Terry, I most certainly think they wouldn't change the rules, but he has alot to do with the acceptance of these new regulations. Forgive me, but I am still bitter about the whole thing. By the way, I just got off the phone with my old roommate, he's the Western Sale Manager for Field and Stream and Outdoor Life magazines and he got invited to fish DV with the Shimano guys next week. He was told a group of guys caught 200-plus fish in one day just recently, so he's all jazzed about it. I guess I would be too. Makes the sting a little sharper though knowing that if I don't spend 14,000 dollars to replace my perfectly good motor, I'm assed out. Oh the joys of political fishing.
