Linda,
No one is complaining. Jim asked a question and I am giving my honest opinion on why I didn't fish it this year. $95 is alot to pay especially the extra gas it takes to run back and forth to the hourly weigh-ins. My boat holds 50 gallons and gets about 3 mpg. It's hard to justify running wide open to get back to the ramp in time and weigh a fish thinking you have second or third place and only to find out after 3 days entry $285, plus maybe that much in gas to find out that KRA isn't paying 2nd-3rd. It's a little deceiving. It needs to be worded a little different in your flyers and ads. Remember the hourly prizes were part of the attraction to this tournament that the KRA keeps pushes each year. Not to have prizes for 2nd and 3rd probably upset people this year as it did me last year.
Remember, not complaints. I looked at everyones comments as constructive critiscm and should be read as that and seriuosly taken into consideration for future events.
Remember also-----this is your audience and you are hearing from the people you need to hear from. So don't take offense----listen,learn and make changes. Most of us on here are willing to help.
