I got no problems with meat fishers, even with bass. As long as they keep it legal. They usually throw worms or other stuff that never gets bit anyways. And if they need to keep 6" bass from the LA river I pity them. If that does happen, it will make the fish grow bigger... There's too many small fish right now competing for a limited amount of food.
Part of the reason I posted about the river is to see if other fisherman rise to the challenge. So get out there and show me what you catch!
...it's not obvious where I'm fishing, and it's the only spot I've seen that has this many bass. So I think my spot is safe for now.
