Be glad we are in the minority!  My husband fishes for largemouth bass as a
hobby.  Our town is on the Mississippi River where he used to be able to
enjoy catching a lot of bass.  Over the last 10 years or so this area has
been fished so heavily by tournament fishermen and other hobbyist that the
fishing is now very poor.  The fewer shellers there are, the more shells
there are for nuts like us!
