Is it true, 240 boats on Lewisville today for just a regular circuit THSBA tournament?
At what point do these tournaments simply start damaging the fish population of local lakes?

Half of them don’t catch fish.

Bass Champs has drawn close to that or more on Lewisville. BASS Opens has had close to 200 boats on it.

So what you are saying is stop all tournaments?

In my mind boats are boats when it comes to fishing pressure.Not trying to take a shot at the kids but one could argue that the Champs anglers probably catch more fish than the kids on average in an event. If you want them to ban or limit HS events then you better he ready and accept that same deal when they go after other trails. To me it's a slippery slope. Careful what you wish for.

Who said anything about banning anything?
My question is, how much fishing pressure (due to high volume tournaments) is too much to where we see significant decline in fish population on area lakes?
Is that not a valid question for the cool club? Or do I need to be initiated into something?

Not sure if any tournaments have played a role in that. The Open pros certainly didn’t damage the population in Fall a few years back at Lewisville.
