Christine,

I read it and found it funny. If chuck thinks I am trying to take him down he is wrong. I just thought it would be most fair if he fished like Phil does... With artificials only. Only way it would be fair as a 6lb bass in Maine is like a 14lb bass in Florida.Yes Chuck and I disagree about how stupid some of the rules are of our self made tournament but I'm not going to hate him for it or anything. That would be a pointless waste of my time. A) I don't know chuck other than the fact he is a god loving man from florida B) this tournament is for nothing but bragging rights over a forum there is a good chance I won't be part of in a year (no time) C) as I stated in my email back to you all you have to do is go to any other forum in this place and you will see arguments. You are also way off base on why I quit. I didn't quit because of lack of time to fish. I would of had atleast 1 weekend to fish which would of gotten me a respectable 10lbs worth fo bass pretty easily. I quit because I did not feel it was in the best interest of the bass to be held out of water that long. I want my fisheries to stay as healthy as I can and having bass out of water in 90 degree weather is a sure fire way to cripple it.
