leo your response reminds me of a line by RUSSEL PETERS, BE A MAN, anyone not familiar with this utube russel peters and have a laugh instead of bitchin about how much others get paid for fishin where they want
Untill they start paying to 56th I've got nothing to worry about.
Ive fished in many different circuits over the years and some people always try to scrutinize each and every detail.It all comes down to choices.We all should know what we're getting into before the start of the event. Every tournament angler im sure is doing it for the rush or thrill of competition ,and if you arn't, you better be winning a couple a year.My hat goes off to those anglers that have been good enough to do just that. For the most part ,they probably have been doing there home work too.(time on the water)
One good circuit, well run would be the best. Fair entry fees to suit most anglers. Load up for the yearly Final and like the old days.. a waiting list to get in... in Feb.You could toss in a pro am or individual event here or there and see what happens. There only needs to be one well run circuit with proper weigh in stations, well run live release boats that ensure fish are distributed properly.
I've fished a bunch of Top Bass tournaments and found Ted to be a pretty nice and friendly guy. I've fished a few of Andy's too and ditto.
You have to finish high to know about payouts, and I don't know much about that:?
But I do like that I can pit myself against a few dozen good angling teams for a chance to double or even triple my money (or better) for only half of $220. With the big fish pool there's two ways to cash a cheque. I like my chances competeing at bass fishing better than buying 100 lottery tickets, or giving my money to a casino...and I have way more fun and meet a lot of cool, like-minded people.
The more people fishing these events, the better the payout. I would encourage anyone who is interested to try tournament fishing for the experience, to spread the concept of catch-and-release and to help draw more practitioners to the sport...and more boats into every field...resulting in more bigger cheques at these tournaments.
Then we'll all be happy.
