Thanks brother. The guys that won there on *their own fish* deserve alot of
credit. I stayed with Randy Romig, one of the greatest tidewater fisherman
on the planet. He had a very tough week. Guys like Kenyon Hill & OT Fears
fellon their faces on the Hudson. It was TOUGH!

Thanks Dude. The fishing up at the Hudson last week was tough
regardless
of
where you were sittin, believe me! I actually brought more to the
scales
than all my boaters combines lol. Too bad the Hudson was showing her
worst
side instead of her best. Oh well.

I'm not sure what you mean with million dollar prize, I've never heard
of
such a thing.

No different from any other sport that uses a bracket format
(tennis,
pool,
ncaa basketball etc). How bout that $500k prize though!

Congrats on moving up to that 24th place finish (I think) this past
tourney
Warren. I am not a tourney fisherman, but I'd imagine being a
non-boater
makes it a tough row to hoe at times.

And speaking of big prizes, why did they do away with the MEGABass or
whatever it used to be, that paid a million out? I'd think with the
apparent
resurgence of bass fishing in particular, that some big time almost
made
for
TV tournies would be in order once again. I know they came out with
the
Elite 50 this year, but still, how about some big time bucks for you
guys
out there doing this as a job? How lame is it (IMHO) that the Super
Bowl
(Classic) winner from our sport only got $200,000 in money? You can
just
about score that much by placing in the top 10 of any of a handful of
PGA
golf tournaments these days...

Of course I am somewhat jaded by the fact that I also try my hand at
offshore fishing several times a year and I know the boat and guys
that
won
the Big Rock tournament here a few months ago. A lot of you have
probably
never even heard of it, but those guys (the winning boat, crew and
fishing
team, though the boat was a charter) won almost 500k for that 1 555lb
Marlin
they boated....second place was still over the $200k that Takahiro
(sp?)
won
at the Classic...
