wish they would offer more money for the prizes. With the price of fuel and oil these days a little incentive might entice more entrants. Just sayin. One year( think it was 1998) we spent around $1000 fishing out of Venice and I won the dolphin division and a guy who caught a gafstop catfish won $2000. Just does not make sense to me economically. I wish they would get a big time sponsor like a casino and offer some real money. I did hear that several years ago (like 15 or so) that Player's Island casino offered to cough up some real money but wanted the weigh in at their casino and the fishing club said no thanks and kept the weigh in at their clubhouse.
The Isle of Capri casino in Biloxi used to have a big time marlin tournament and it brought in beaucoup bucks.
Just my humble opinion.
