Great question.
It was definitely different. We did not make any long runs like we used to. It is a little more difficult to cash a cheque in the crossovers. The entries were up, and so was the caliber of fisherman. That being said, the paybacks were better due to the increase in participants. In the end we made the classic, which was an awesome event minus the weather!
And as always, Andy runs a great tournament and we will be doing them again this year.
