20. Huddleston suing Bass Pro Shops…
…sounds like over swimbait design and an associated patent.
21. DC: Marine bill is more about fishermen’s rights…
…than just marine fishing. donny barone does a good job explaining that, and here’s my 2c as a guy who used to work in DC and cover that mess: Recreational fishermen (us) almost always are last after environmental group (the radical ones who spend $$$ in DC) and business (in this case commercial fishermen). So seems like all that marine bill will do is to start balancing things out a little.
