PLASTICS; in the trash not the water

Hey Folks, I read an artical in the sept. 2011 issue of B.A.S.S. TIMES that was a real eye opener. The author wrote about a fish he caught on lake Amistad in Texas. The fish died from a deep hook so he dressed it out only to find 12 soft plastic baits balled up in it's stomach. It also states that biologist have proven a fish that eats these baits can suffer serious intestinal blockage resulting in weight loss and or death. If you get a chance to read read this write up please do so, and keep your old baits in your boat until you get back to the dock and dispose of them properly. I know I will from now on.
