homer, i bet the picture is an older one (i'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that).

but i disagree completely that the posts have been to hard on specific guides or tackle shops. imo, guides and tackle shops have a duty and the responsibility to make sure they fish legally... and not just in terms of taking or targeting fish... but in not fishing in areas or places they are not licensed to fish. guides and tackle shops are places people go to learn and get information. to me, that means that there should be a higher standard for professionals than joe sixpack.
