"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

It's an ethics thing. "Is it somehow an unreasonable advantage over the fish and eventually damage the fishery?" I haven't come up with an answer to that question for sure. The other side of that argument is that it is just fishing, and any legal method is fine. Is it an equivalent method to live bait? Like I said i'm still fussing over it for myself. As far as being a 'hater'...I hate the term 'hater'. It's like 'my bad' : both are code for 'I really don't want to take the time to come up with an intelligent sentence'. Present company not included of course.

I feel there unfair in tournaments just on the pure fact on the number of baits your able to fish with one cast. Also it seems unfair to me BC your imitating a whole school of fish not just one so I think its almost unsportsman like

I've seen tournament rules that allow a sixth fish in the boat for culling purposes. What should you do if you have five and catch 2,3,4 or 5 more with the rig?
Never mind. I've yet to catch one.

Never mind. I've yet to catch one. Tournament can't and should not regulate every situation on the water. Common sense dictstaes you cull back down to 5 and get to fishing. You actually lost fishing time so maybe its more of a hinderance than a help. I fail to see any unfair advantages. Even if fish are hooked outside the mouth obviously they were trying to eat it. As long as no one is visually snagging the fish then no issue there either.

. . .and this misconception that you catch 3 or 4 or 5 fish on one cast often with the A rig is insanely inaccurate. 2 maybe. More than that and you should consider yourself lucky.
I have made and first hand seen other make thousands of casts with the a rig, thousands. I haven't had one double yet and I have only seen it twice. I know it happens, but it is definitely not the norm.

I have seen people catch two fish at the same time on a DD22. We might consider making more than one hook against the rules.

As far as being a 'hater'...I hate the term 'hater'. It's like 'my bad' : both are code for 'I really don't want to take the time to come up with an intelligent sentence'. Present company not included of course. agree with this part completely. If you don't like something or someone or don't agree with what is being done, you are automatically branded as a hater.

As soon as I overthrow the government and become Emperor I am going to do four things:
1. Make all trailer balls the same size
2. Make all phone chargers universal
3. Issue an edict that all bathroom doors must push outward to exit. Why would I want to wash my hands, then have to grab a nasty doorknob to get out?
4. Outlaw the words "hater", "haterade", and any variations thereof All good points! ill help you take them on!!!! Then we can make them
