As a group, sports fishers are prone to not getting involved. What we see here is a small percentage of people willing to speak out. For every one of us there are hundreds or even thousands who have opinions but choose to remain silent in public. This is not specific to fishing either. It happens all across the spectrum of political and personal issues. I see it in my job all the time. The smokers stand outside and have all kinds of opinions but get them in a meeting and they have no contribution to the discussions at all. So it is for folks like myself to stick our necks out and risk getting our heads chopped off. The real trick to be on one of these groups is to be able to voice opinions but also listen. Not to listen while tapping your feet impatiently waiting for your turn to speak, but really listening. You can't be a CROCODILE.....that would be a creature with a big mouth and little ears.....That doesn't mean you have to agree with what you hear but atleast you listen.
