Fishing tournaments help...

[FishNette]

I don't get it. A fishing tournament hosted by a restaruant that is 30+ miles from Galveston.??? It's probably a minimum 15 miles from any boat launch.

They are taking 20% off of the top.??? I'm just not that desperate to line someone elses pockets with my money. What are they giving away? Someone please tell me why you would fish this tournament.???

They don't have anything to do with fishing or boats!???

The Mexican food business must be slow...

Here you go guys

Looks like a fun tournament I may have to enter it. I'm on some toads right now. Just need to find a partner or may fish solo if they allow it.
