In bass tournaments you must keep the fish alive or be penalized. what's the biggest prize you can win out there mate? over here there's a match series and I think it's 25 k if you win your qualifiers...100k for the final and untold sponsoring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best I ever did was winning a few local tournaments that paid a couple hundred lol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My buddy is a childhood friend but he lives different than most.He has very few sponsors.His boat was 80k.He has 10k in rods.He has 5k in trolling motor and special batteries.He has 20k in sonar fish finder type stuff.Its like riding in a space ship so many computer screens.His boat will run 72mph which is fast on the water.His boat gets about 3mph so he's burning 100 in boat fuel every trip a few times a week. This man lives in a 10k house trailer.They are clean good folks but I wouldn't live that way nothing wrong with it but I wouldn't do it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
