I have fished many Bass tourney's and when it is for money it's not fun, it's cut throat, arguing and someone smaking the officials. when it's for fun everyone has a good time. on the 2nd tourney make tight rules, $50 or more per head with 2 man teams, life jackets if the motor is running blah blah blah. 20% to a charity.(to help sc look good). but if this is the tourney you guys want, make the rules and who ever wants in is in and who ever decides not to won't. MY $0.02 WORTH.

I agree 10000000% if this is a tourney meant to just have another get together than it should be more fun than anything else. Just remember one thing while planning this...more rules = more problems
