Pretty sure there was only 20 film crews on various boats. And yes, alot of new boats, I believe it was someting around 270 boat entries?? The biggest ever. ESPN's coverage is getting alot more people interested in entering. It gets more and more every year becasue of the publicity. I think the BBGFC has a 5 year deal with ESPN, but that doesn't mean it will ever air on TV, but when it does that is a nice check for the owner of the club. He has really done a great job promoteing tourney's and has done his best to refain boats from bringing in small sharks with more stringent rules.
