OK Tournament and Non - tournament Bass Fishermen

[fishbum]

I've never fished in the Ohio, or in a tournament, and I don't think that having those two firsts on the same day would be a great idea. But it does sound like a good tournament for somebody who's never done one before and wants to give it a shot. Maybe next year, if it comes back.

Boy yesterday caught his second third and fourth legal Ohio River fish and he won $300 I think..

Because, for me, tournaments go against the spirit of what I think fishing and enjoying the outdoors is. I personally wish they'd be outlawed, but I know that's not going to happen.

When has anything NOT been turned into a competition.
Look at the science that has gone into fishing BECAUSE of competition.
Better lures, better reels, better rods, all because some fisherman wanted a better product to fish with in competition. Without competition we would still be using cane poles and fighting PETA for the right to fish. Money talks and makes the world run.. sad but true.

Let's see................

I hate fishing the river.

I was committed to fishing a tournament today on Nolin.

Gas is $3 per gallon, so I only have so much fishing money to go around.

They're just putting the finishing touches on my $6k septic system, which makes money even tighter.

I hate fishing the river.


Did I mention that I hate fishing the river? LOL
