I have never been in a tourney but was thinkin about tryin some this summer...after reading this they are not for me....the thought of live bait in a tourney never crossed my mind. I mean I have been known to croker soak every once in a while, especially in an area I don't know, but nothing is more satisfying than catching on artificial. I think of a tournament as a test of skill between a group of people and if you introduce live bait the only skill you need is being able to cast. So all these so called tournaments are really just large amounts of people betting against each other to see who can catch the biggest fish. Now if it is a fundraiser for a good cause such as the one Shad is trying to put together I'm in, but I think I will just stick to fishing for myself and leave these "tournaments" to you guys.
