Should NFGFC tournaments have a entry fee and cash payouts?

Stop your whinin. Somebody's gotta do it, and it just adds to the challenge.

I understand the challenge, but what about the tournament

Some folks think you have an unfair advantage just by having me as a partner.

I agree with the unfair part

If winning tournaments was about the money you could POSSIBLY win, then no one would fish a tournament. My tournament winnings are less than 5% of my tournament expenditures.
Like TinCan said. It ain't about the money. It is about fun and competition and learning and socializing and winning Costa Del Mar sunglasses from SGO and Mystery fish money from Badcock and More and all the other things that make it ....just fun.
The $20 bucks is a friendly bet. The side pots are there if you choose to participate.
Check the records ...the winners change every time.

Well that is a good deal. Jerry's is an hour drive and 45 miles from me. That does make a difference.

That's a good deal to everyone but the tournament director and his partner waiting at JBT's for 6:30 to leave, it's not fair

Tell you what Chalk, If I could achieve TC's tourney record, Id be glad to stay and check everybody in!!!

All you gotta' do is say TC, will you fish a tourney with me?
Then you could learn from a seasoned tournament fisherman. And probably win that day.

I hear you guys. You are correct. Each type of tournament is different. There isn't any reason to change this one. It does what it is supposed to do, and everyone seems to love it. Like Tin Can said "I'll get off my box." Money isn't everything, but it sure is a good motivator. Done....

Hopefully I'll see you guys in Carabelle, good luck.
