Who cares. If those tournaments weren't going on those guys would still be out there hooking prespawn fish. I will be on the water as soon as the ice is gone. The open water season is too short, I'm not going to spend any time worrying about fisherman legally fishing.
correct they would but not 50 plus boats all on the same body of water on the same day, (along w the non tournament guys in same 8 hours. I'm not against a catch and release season however am as I said against large sanctioned tournaments pre season opener.
