Bob, have been watching some of the recorded big bass tournaments held on Lake Fork and surrounding area lakes in Texas. Quite a chess game as they have weigh ins on the hour for 7-8 hours and you have to decide if this is the hour your fish may win. Quite interesting format, did you ever get exposed to this format or something that came along later. The number of entrys is staggering. Prizes are great also.

Richard, I fished the McDonald's Big Bass Splash on Fork for years (never won anything myself, but I have had a couple of guys win big out of the back of my boat. One guy won a new Stratos Bass Baot with an 11.25 lb that I reached down arm's length into the water and got it unwerapped from a tree stump. Kewl format for the most part. Watch for Bob Sealy's event on Guntersville and try it out sometime He has them all over the place now (not just TExas).

These tournaments are always interesting. Never know what will show up at the scales next and when.
