“It is not about the prize to me; it is all about the competition and challenging yourself. So for the good of CCA, I am giving it back and hopefully an angler that needs it more than me will get lucky and catch the next tagged redfish,” said Guidry. “And this way, I can still compete for the Trout Division which has been my goal for a long time.”

This guy gave up a truck in exchange for nothing, just for the chance to "try" and win the trout division.

WOW !!! One side of me wants to ask him, "What in the Hell are you thinking?" and the other part wants to shake his hand and buy him a round. That is one stand-up man right there!

I didn't realize that if you won the truck, it eliminated you from the rest of the tournament. That's the way I read the article anyways. The man is serious about that trout division. You can't fault him for his dedication. I hope he catches a hog that puts him on top of the leaderboard. If anything CCA may give him a nice consolation prize.

Had a guy in LC few years back that sold the truck back to the dealership and took the pay out. Then I guess you can buy the boat you want.
