I'm thinking about entering the Bass River event in Sept. Plus I have a Yamaha engine which qualifies for extra $$. Frankly, I like the idea of a slot limit. Should ensure an even playing field.
Unfortunately, since their goal is to release every fish alive after it's weighed (or so I hear), what it'll ensure is a few 8 oz sinkers stuffed down a 36" fish, I'm afraid.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
Unfortunately I'm an optimist regarding people and tournaments. And looking back at the last two events, lb ranges were right ~ 33 for the winning two fish.
