we're definitel paying for it when groups of state employees go out to tag, pay for their charters etc when it would otherwise be a working day. i'm not faulting it on this point, just saying.
now,as far as opinion goes; if they're considering 40% reduction in catch, why pay to promote catching them at the same time? and this next part is my greedy opinion but it sometimes feels like too many boats out there already. i'd like to see them spend our money promoting the many golf, baseballl, and football-watching opportunities this great state offers.
but if they're determined to spend money on promoting catching fish - i say it should be the dam snakeheads. not sure if they're stoppable but if we're going to put a bounty on someone's head,...
lastly re diamong jim - no one got diamond jim, so each of the 11? imposter-catchers split $25K and won a topaz gemstone from local jeweler.
