I guess i have always had an idea of tournament fishing as being a way to measure yourself against other fisherman and the fish. I can somewhat understand fishing close to a release area on the way in to check in to add a fish or so, but camping out on an area with hopes of cashing in on released fish.... Well it is just pathetic. I can not imagine getting a sense of satisfaction from competeing this way. I believe that FINDING FISH to catch is harder to do than catching fish that you know were put there by anglers from a tournament a week or so ago. I guess everyone has there own reasons for fishing, so each to their own.
