I hear what you are saying Water_Dog but it doesn’t mean that things can’t be changed and our voices can’t be heard. There are “simple” solutions to this problem.

Digging deep here... I remember a few years back 5-10 years. There was a bass magazine that had a advertisement for bass fishing line that had a picture of a bass drawn out of fishing line. I’m looking for that image if anyone remembers it or has it. Any help would be really appreciated.
