In my previous post I had no intention of disrespecting any commercial fishermen out there. They are all working harder than 95% of us ever would in conditions that would keep us off the lake. My point is for all their hard work, they are not getting rich doing what they do. They also have as much right to be there as we do as long as they abide by the rules put forth.

I too have been extremely frustrated when I drag 10 cranks into a trotline or one day, 5 trotlines that were set 4 feet deep in 25 feet of water with no visible floats. I broke off a bunch of baits and retrieved a few. One thing I will never do is cut a trotline that is obviously freshly set and baited. That is that man's livelihood and I'm just out there for the fun of it.

Hopefully the net issue can be resolved. I want to see them catch the last living Asian carp in existence.
