    I doubt this happens, the local economy will lose to much money.

    People have been fishing tournaments for decades and the same lakes always produce many and big fish. The fish that happen to die because of a tournament is a drop in the bucket relative to the entire population.

    The article stated that the tournaments would have to release their fish outside of the harbor. Didn’t say that tournaments would be banned.

    I am 100% on board with this. Take them near the bridge and release the fish. Paris Landing harbor area has no water flow and is almost stagnant most times of the year. Extremely low oxygen content in the warm months.
    If the tourney series has a release boat or one that will serve as one, give them a permit.
