I'm right here in northern Athens, Abalama, and throwing a net in front of your boat and trolling around until you snag fish ain't fishing and it never will be. Do you deer hunt with a machine gun? When I hear the argument about how tough it is to watch 6 or 8 poles and try to get fish off the line, all I hear is whining. Fish and game would like a one rod limit. They tried to change the law a few years ago, and it wasn't the fishermen who challenged them, it was the retail stores that wanted the continued sales.

I won't get the law changed and I won't change a whole lot of people's minds, but your justifications for 'netting' with multiple poles is not fishing. You are not a responsible fisherman, you simply want to haul fish in the boat and brag that you accomplished something.
