This ain't casting stones, just something to ponder.. Think of the money and jobs that Elk hunting hunting creates out West.. Most of the people who go out there to hunt are out-of-staters.. They spend hard earned money in these lil towns and ranches producing jobs all the while stimulating the economy, the same can be said for the Whitetail industry in the Midwest.. When you look at Fishing, Tennessee has long been thought of as one of, if not the best states to Smallmouth fish in, I'm sure the guides on Pickwick, Percy Priest and Dale Hollow love out-of-staters who bring hard earned money to their neck of the woods.. The people affected by the Big 4 Crappie fishing bonanza stretches far and deep.. Be Thankful that u live close enough to one to consider it a home lake.. The next time you get on the lake take a minute to enjoy what you have, soak it in and remember there are just a few of thousands that actually get a CHANCE to fish the lakes every crappie fisherman dreams of being on.. Good Luck and Good Fishing
