fishin813....soap box not a problem for me. A $50 per year license for a non-resident is cheap in my opinion. I hold both Alabama and Georgia 1 year license which is right at $50 each, and I will not fish in either state more than a hand full of times a year. If FWC had the funding to do more research we would most likely have a much better fishery in quantity and quality of fish. I fully support the proposed new bass regulations. In time we will be seeing much improved bass fishing.
