  First of all, forward-facing sonar is here, so deal with it (me included). If you love it, great. If you hate it, great. However, it makes for some boring live coverage staring at the back of anglers all day with their heads down.

  This seems to justify catch and immediate release fishing events.

  RE: Cayuga Lake BPT – Now we need stats on the effects of the same bedding fish being caught over and over in a period of days ... or sometimes in the same day.

  It should be noted here that the St. Lawrence River bass season is completely closed on the U.S. side from Dec. 1 to June 14, including for catch and release. I've seen social media posts from people who are unfortunately unaware of this and think it's open for catch and release.

  RE: Cayuga Lake BPT event – Future bucket-list trip,, for sure. Upsetting though, to hear rumors that several fish were caught multiple times. Hope that's not true.

  RE: Stracner's DQ at the Sabine – Based on my understanding of the Compact he would be ineligible for getting a fishing license in almost all states since they are all part of it except Hawaii and Massachusetts. His Elite Series season should be over. I would like to know which state revokes your fishing license for one year for fishing without a license. Seems harsh and counter-productive. This could happen very easily like simply not understanding the effective dates of the license (e.g. year-to-date versus all expire at the same time). Every state is different, so very easy to get mixed up.

  I believe a fine and making the offender buy a license as part of the fine would be a more reasonable penalty. Reserve the revocation of privileges (hunting or fishing) for more serious or repeat offenders.
