I have to say this saddens me a little to see a tourney cancelled. We have never cancelled one due to only having 5-6 boats. We've had four people show and still had an awesome time. This kind of tells me it's more about the money. Sorry just how if looks.
Go fish and have a good day, it is about the laughs and good times.

Hard to draw full fields, for 3 trails, off of one group of people. And although people say they aren't working against each other, it happens.

Hopefully as the weather shapes up it changes. This was one of 2-3 ill be able to make. Oh well.

Which is why it shouldn't be cancelled
The last time smoke ran stats there were over 60 teams that have made tourneys in the past. Plenty of people to fish.
I hope you get to fish Sunday good luck!

I think you miss his point. It doesn't matter if you draw a full field or have 5 teams. It's about getting together and having a good time anyway. My 2nd car topper was at Oldham. 5 boats. One of them looked like a bath tub with a trolling motor. 2 guys packed into it. The came back with no bass and huge smiles. They caught a couple of pin worthy crappie to show off at the ramp. We lost to North Shore by 1 ounce and that was the beginning of a bitter rivalry. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a great day. That's what we're trying to do.

I understand. But i don't think the general populous is in it for money. I was still willing to go. Probably spend 90% of the day unhooking my girlfriends line from trees and panfish.

Cant really miss his point. He said it. He believes the topper trail oriented teams are only in it for the money.

Im down to do some fishing with the OG's for some fun and good times instead that day.
