[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 170485, member: 4391"] So you can tell I'm searching through older posts. Last I saw you had to have a 17ft minimum boat, and a 150hp engine. Maximum was 250hp and talk was of raising it to 300. I agree 100% that they haven't done much to help the sport. If anything they popularized bass fishing during the ESPN popular years that fishing is tougher, ramps have more traffic and more damage, housing and lake associations are unhappy with tournaments, lakes are heavily disturbed, landowners have land tresspassed on by illegal parkers....The list goes on. I really didn't realize the impact until living on a lake. Here in MI there are literally thousands of lakes. Problem is the lower half of the state, the biggest lake might be a couple thousand acres, with man well under 1,000 acres. These aren't lakes on TV that can support lots of boat and fishing traffic because they are several thousands of acres. [/QUOTE]
