That's a great article. It explains reality very well.

Verses the nonsense from the writer for the Detroit Free Press who is obviously an editorial columnist too not a news reporter. She is 'quoting' me without actually getting any quotes from me... Got to like having a virtual stranger put words in your mouth.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
Unless clearly stated as such, opinions expressed by Dan Kimmel on this forum are not the opinions or policies of The Bass Federation of Michigan.

Didn't see the part I  pasted below in the MUCC comment.  About all it said was different is the CDR wording. Noting about  CIR.    Maybe I read it wrong.

The gist of the new MDNR FD bass season recommendation is we would have catch-and-immediate-release (CIR) bass fishing all year on most waters - exceptions might be a few trout waters that are closed to all fishing for part of the year for example.

Here's what I read in there

There's 4 proposals for upcoming bass season
And then the DNR threw out a new proposal with a proposed CDR release for just tournaments
that sparked the bait and switch and special interest comments from the article in the Free Press

Being it's the DNR that recommending it
Maybe the do what to use that data to monitor how the new regs are working

"Perhaps allowing this new proposed "Catch and Delayed Release" season for tournaments could help in gathering data on what kind of fishing pressure this might create during earlier times of the year and how the general fish size and level of effort may change as a result. But leaving it only available to tournament anglers and CDR makes it an unnecessary lightening rod for debate. And it still doesn't allow us to test the theory that bass are adaptable and resilient in the face of normal angling pressure, just like they are in 44 other states."
