but that is your thinking, and the main reason you didn't fish in that tournament, correct? I do fish in some tournaments, not for the prize money( cause your right it's not very much), or for me to brag. i like to fish in tournaments 1. because i'm very competitive, and i like the atmosphere. 2. camaraderie, we all know, fisherman tell tales, its fun to be there and see what the others guys did, learn from them, or learn by them.
