From what i posted on the other OBBT thread, what i seen today at the weigh-in, it was a smoothe system. The guys i seen working were very polite, and professional. Great job guys.
As far as multiple weigh-in sites, i read in this thread where that was answered. Would it be easier and more convient for mulitple locations? Yep. Would the staff, equipment, costs, etc. be greatly expanded? Yep. Would that effect the prize money by paying for those added expenses? Yep. I like the format, the OBBT gang as a whole, the way i seen it, was done in a professional way, with a nice setup. Could it be better? Possibly, but what in life couldnt.
Im sure those that "choose" to fish any of these events wouldnt do so if they felt it wasnt up to par, so with as many entries as were posted, it looks like the guys and gals who fish it were there happily, trying to win what Brendan took home, a beautiful boat.
As i was leaving, i told the announcer on the stage that the rigt guy won the boat. Very good kid, and for his first tourney, he will remember this for years. I was talking to his mom when his sister called. She didnt believe he won the boat. She will after he gets back to St. Louis with it. It was his parents anniversary this weekend, so a great weekend for their family overall.
