I think taking the co-anglers out of the Elites is a mistake but that is just my opinion.
I agree, I like KVD, I kind of thought it was BS I was only referring to having a "co-angler" on board, if it wasn't for the amount of $$$ it requires I would have entered as many as I could for sheer knowledge alone, I have had the priviledge to fish with a few of the "big boys" and I learned alot merely about bait selection - those little things they DON'T share!!
