I hear you, it can be daunting on the back.
Thanks, a group of us took over the series three years ago and we've managed to grow it a lot by reaching out to local companies to help with door prizes. Even with 100 participants we normally have enough door prizes for every person at the weigh in to get something valued from $30-$200. You can not win a door prize if you're in the money. It brings people who wouldn't normally weigh in fish. Not to mention the free Beer and food from Cricket's Kitchen has helped us out a lot as well. At the end of the day, we know we're fishing in plastic boats, we're not pros and just want to spread the joy of fishing for whomever can enter.
