With that being said, if I had signed up last year I would have won a boat. Its a Nautic Star so I wasn't completely heart broken but its still a free boat. I know in the past I have talked a lot of smack about the CCA so I wanted to go on record here and say that I am a hypocrite and I know it. So there will be no need to call me out for being one when I win this year. It was easy to stand on principle before I actually caught a fish that would have won it. Now not signing up seems pretty stupid considering how often I fish. So I will sign up and draw the line there. I have no interest in going to the banquets and all the other Beautiful People congregations. My hypocrisy only goes so far.

I'm close to being in the same boat as you. I look at my monetary contribution strictly as an entry fee. Plenty of people enter tournaments for a chance to win something and could care less what the dollars go to. CCA may not do much (or any) good with the money, but I don't think they use it for evil. At some point in time, we have all GIVEN money to organizations (not knowing at the time) that did use it for bad. Disclaimer, I have no "scientific" data to back this up. This is strictly my opinion.

Limiting your fishing opportunities based entirely on someone's opinion is evil.

Back limit from 25 to 15 with zero evidence to support it

So they took away opportunities for me to come in with 100 trout instead of 60

All you guys do is complain that big lake's reefs and habitat is shrinking and you support more limits?

I support facts and data
If you can provide legit data to back a limt reduction im all for it but when "I" ask the CCA president why did he and CCA back the 15 trout limt here was my answer

Because it was the right thing to do

Lol, the real answer to that question is....
IMO CCA believed lowering the limits would also reduce the fishing pressure; call me selfish but I was a fan of less boats on Big Lake.

Unfortunately the reduced limit didn't releive the pressure.

These are my opinions only.

CCA didn't limit your fishing opportunities; you can keep your 60 pickles and stay out all day if your little heart desires.

Fishing is only an opportunity when done during the STAR!
