WHERE ARE THE COSTA GUYS?

[Devan S.]

For all these guys that are only into fishing tournaments for competition and its not about the money. Someone really should start an invitation only tournament, they pay a $100 fee to enter. That will pay for their ride along marshal and their calibrated scale. Since there will be zero payout, there shouldn't be any cheating and since its invitation only if a cheater is found then they can just ban him/her from future competition. You can beat your chest at the end, hoot, and howl, whatever you want when we announce you're the winner but you get no money or trophy. (We could make a stringer of replica bass you can take a picture with the fee structure)

After 3 or 4 tournaments we can start rankings and kick the marshals to the curb and were gonna pair you up mono-y-mono. The higher ranked angler gets the back of the boat and the lower ranked angler gets the front and makes all the choices on where to fish. 

Since its all about competition and fishing, this format should grow rapidly on TRL, we can expand to other lakes and create divisions to further find the real best of the best. We're gonna need qualified tournament directors for each lake. Primary responsibility is to blow all the entry fees since this is going to be so popular(think high end calculators to add up the weights, ect). We can take all the proceeds from fees and the true best fisherman from all the divisions we could pay their entry fees for something like BASS or FLW for a year so that they can begin to really play with the big boys. Assuming of course that the big boys don't flood our format because its all about the competition.

Since I've had the idea, I think its only fair that I get 50% of the entry fees right off the top.

You flat nailed it there. 

Same in golf.  There used to be decent money games at most public courses but they've slowly disappeared.  The only one I know of is the $1,000.00 game on the east side.  It draws people from all over the country.  Or used to, I haven't played in it in 4 years.

Thinking about ordering me a golf jersey from one of those eBay slicksters and bolting some Power Poles to the back of the cart!!!

Just think how stable your cart will be after the second 12 pack!!! Good ideal.
