Not bad. Smaller crowd than I expected. Not too many familiar faces either. It was nice to see some of the guys in a different venue than on the rocks at night.

I wished it was more geared to a sit down event. I wasn't ready to stand for several hours after a marathon week fishing the rocks.

Fishing was too good, beer (after the first freebie) and food too expensive, parking's a pain in the ass, and most of all, I couldn't afford to win the boat

The IRS taxes it as straight income based on sticker, and you'd be lucky to be able to sell it at 60 cents on the dollar in today's economy--if you could sell it at all before you'd have to mail away the estimated tax check. Maybe the first guy took all of that into consideration and really was there when they called his name
