I totally agree with Champman. Now…time for me to stir the pot a little …
If this is a B.A.S.S. rule, will each states B.A.S.S Federation have to abide by this? Sounds pretty tough seeing as how each club is designed to share info and help new anglers and current members. I’ve been in the Wis Fed and this will really come into play when the Zone and State tourneys role around.
Next…what about the “PROS” that have already received info in the past? Can they use info that they received 2, 3, or 5 years ago? Are they Grandfathered? If the rule was just implemented this year, can they just say that they received info before it was illegal. DANG! Why do I think of this stuff?
I have to agree with the rule. Lets seperate the boys from the men. We all know that finding the fish is the hardest part!
My 2 cents.
